Dan Williams 53989fad12 cxl/pmem: Fix module reload vs workqueue state
A test of the form:

    while true; do modprobe -r cxl_pmem; modprobe cxl_pmem; done

May lead to a crash signature of the form:

    BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffffffc0660030
    #PF: supervisor instruction fetch in kernel mode
    #PF: error_code(0x0010) - not-present page
    [..]
    Workqueue: cxl_pmem 0xffffffffc0660030
    RIP: 0010:0xffffffffc0660030
    Code: Unable to access opcode bytes at RIP 0xffffffffc0660006.
    [..]
    Call Trace:
     ? process_one_work+0x4ec/0x9c0
     ? pwq_dec_nr_in_flight+0x100/0x100
     ? rwlock_bug.part.0+0x60/0x60
     ? worker_thread+0x2eb/0x700

In that report the 0xffffffffc0660030 address corresponds to the former
function address of cxl_nvb_update_state() from a previous load of the
module, not the current address. Fix that by arranging for ->state_work
in the 'struct cxl_nvdimm_bridge' object to be reinitialized on cxl_pmem
module reload.

Details:

Recall that CXL subsystem wants to link a CXL memory expander device to
an NVDIMM sub-hierarchy when both a persistent memory range has been
registered by the CXL platform driver (cxl_acpi) *and* when that CXL
memory expander has published persistent memory capacity (Get Partition
Info). To this end the cxl_nvdimm_bridge driver arranges to rescan the
CXL bus when either of those conditions change. The helper
bus_rescan_devices() can not be called underneath the device_lock() for
any device on that bus, so the cxl_nvdimm_bridge driver uses a workqueue
for the rescan.

Typically a driver allocates driver data to hold a 'struct work_struct'
for a driven device, but for a workqueue that may run after ->remove()
returns, driver data will have been freed. The 'struct
cxl_nvdimm_bridge' object holds the state and work_struct directly.
Unfortunately it was only arranging for that infrastructure to be
initialized once per device creation rather than the necessary once per
workqueue (cxl_pmem_wq) creation.

Introduce is_cxl_nvdimm_bridge() and cxl_nvdimm_bridge_reset() in
support of invalidating stale references to a recently destroyed
cxl_pmem_wq.
