PCI: Protect pci_driver->sriov_configure() usage with device_lock()

Every method in struct device_driver or structures derived from it like
struct pci_driver MUST provide exclusion vs the driver's ->remove() method,
usually by using device_lock().

Protect use of pci_driver->sriov_configure() by holding the device lock
while calling it.

The PCI core sets the pci_dev->driver pointer in local_pci_probe() before
calling ->probe() and only clears it after ->remove().  This means driver's
->sriov_configure() callback will happily race with probe() and remove(),
most likely leading to BUGs, since drivers don't expect this.

Remove the iov lock completely, since we remove the last user.

[bhelgaas: changelog, thanks to Christoph for locking rule]
