pciehp: Fix interrupt event handlig
Current pciehp implementation disables and re-enables hotplug interrupts in its interrupt handler. This operation might be intend to guarantee that interrupts for the events newly occured during previous events are being handled will be successfully generated. But current implementaion has the following prolems. - Current interrupt service routin clears status changes without waiting command completion. Because of this, events might not be cleared properly. - Current interrupt service routine clears status changes caused by disabling or enabling hotplug interrupts itself. This will lose new events that occurs during previous interrupts are being handled. - Current implementation doesn't have any serialization mechanism between the code to wait for command completion and the interrupt handler that clears the command completion events caused by itself. There is clearly race conditions between them, and it may cause the problem that waiting for command completion doesn't work for example. To fix those problems, this patch stops disabling/re-enabling hotplug interrupts in interrupt service routine. Instead of this, this patch re-inspects Slot Status register after clearing what is presumed to be the last bending interrupt in order to guarantee that all interrupt events are serviced.
