PCI: pciehp: Avoid returning prematurely from sysfs requests
A sysfs request to enable or disable a PCIe hotplug slot should not return before it has been carried out. That is sought to be achieved by waiting until the controller's "pending_events" have been cleared. However the IRQ thread pciehp_ist() clears the "pending_events" before it acts on them. If pciehp_sysfs_enable_slot() / _disable_slot() happen to check the "pending_events" after they have been cleared but while pciehp_ist() is still running, the functions may return prematurely with an incorrect return value. Fix by introducing an "ist_running" flag which must be false before a sysfs request is allowed to return.
