When we have an SHPC-capable bridge with a second SHPC-capable bridge
below it, pushing the upstream bridge's attention button causes a
deadlock.

The deadlock happens because we use the shpchp_wq workqueue to run
shpchp_pushbutton_thread(), which uses shpchp_disable_slot() to remove
devices below the upstream bridge. When we remove the downstream bridge,
we call shpc_remove(), the shpchp driver's .remove() method. That calls
flush_workqueue(shpchp_wq), which deadlocks because the
shpchp_pushbutton_thread() work item is still running.

This patch avoids the deadlock by creating a workqueue for every slot
and removing the single shared workqueue.

Here's the call path that leads to the deadlock:

shpchp_queue_pushbutton_work
queue_work(shpchp_wq) # shpchp_pushbutton_thread
...

shpchp_pushbutton_thread
shpchp_disable_slot
remove_board
shpchp_unconfigure_device
pci_stop_and_remove_bus_device
...
shpc_remove # shpchp driver .remove method
hpc_release_ctlr
cleanup_slots
flush_workqueue(shpchp_wq)

This change is based on code inspection, since we don't have hardware
with this topology.
