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.
