[RFC PATCH][resend] pciehp: fix a race between pciehp and removing operations by sysfs

[Xiongfeng Wang]

This patch seems to introduce another issue. pciehp_power_thread() use
'container_of' to get the 'slot' according to 'work_struct'.
If the 'slot' has been freed before that, there will be an issue.
