Patch 1 suppress the false positive lockdep warning when there is a
nested pci_call_probe() call. Patch 2 makes pci_call_probe() more
efficient when the current has been affined to the right node already.

  PCI: Suppress false positive lockdep warning in pci_call_probe()
  PCI: Call local_pci_probe() directly in pci_call_probe() if affined to
    the right node

local_pci_probe() and hence pci_call_probe() can be called recursively,
e.g. when vmd_probe() calls .probe() for devices in the new hierarchy
below VMD or a PF .probe() enables VFs and calls .probe() for them. If
the recursive calls are done indirectly via workqueue kworker, a lockdep
recursive warning like the following can be produced.

  ============================================
  WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
  7.1.0-rc6-test+ #1 Not tainted
  --------------------------------------------
  kworker/52:1/1593 is trying to acquire lock:
  ffffc9001498f708 ((work_completion)(&arg.work)){+.+.}-{0:0}, at: start_flush_work+0x3e9/0x9a0

  but task is already holding lock:
  ffffc9001498fd10 ((work_completion)(&arg.work)){+.+.}-{0:0}, at: process_one_work+0xd4c/0x1390

  other info that might help us debug this:
   Possible unsafe locking scenario:

         CPU0
         ----
    lock((work_completion)(&arg.work));
    lock((work_completion)(&arg.work));

   *** DEADLOCK ***

This is a false positive warning due to the limitation on the number
of distinct lockdep keys allowed. The same lockdep key is used when the
INIT_WORK_ONSTACK() macro is called in pci_call_probe(). So when a work
function queued by pci_call_probe() calls into pci_call_probe() again
and another work function is queued and flushed, the lockdep warning
will be displayed. This can be suppressed by registering a dynamic key
and used it whenever the current task is a wq kworker.

Dynamic lockdep keys are limited finite resources and they should be
used only when really necessary.

Currently pci_call_probe() will unconditionally queue a work function
to perform the actual device probing whenever the device is associated
with a valid NUMA node. The use of work function originally comes from
commit 873392ca514f ("PCI: work_on_cpu: use in drivers/pci/pci-driver.c")
to execute the device probing and allocate memory on the right node
where the device bus is attached to.

This is inefficient to schedule another work function in the same or a
neigboring CPU and wait for its completion when the current task is a
work function itself queued by pci_call_probe() or async_schedule_dev()
that has been affined to the right node already. It will also reduce
the amount of parallelism as noted in [1].

Fix that by calling local_pci_probe() directly if the current task has
been affined to the right NUMA node. Now lockdep dynamic key will only
be used if the current task is a wq kworker but is not affined to the
right node.
