PCI/IOV: Serialize sysfs sriov_numvfs reads vs writes
When sriov_numvfs is being updated, we call the driver->sriov_configure()
function, which may enable VFs and call probe functions, which may make new
devices visible. This all happens before before sriov_numvfs_store()
updates sriov->num_VFs, so previously, concurrent sysfs reads of
sriov_numvfs returned stale values.
Serialize the sysfs read vs the write so the read returns the correct
num_VFs value.
