Specifically,\neeh_handle_normal_event() acquired pci_lock_rescan_remove() before\ncalling eeh_pe_bus_get(), but eeh_pe_bus_get() itself attempts to\nacquire the same lock internally, causing nested locking and disrupting\nnormal EEH event handling paths.\n\nThis patch adds a boolean parameter do_lock to _eeh_pe_bus_get(),\nwith two public wrappers:\n    eeh_pe_bus_get() with locking enabled.\n    eeh_pe_bus_get_nolock() that skips locking.\n\nCallers that already hold pci_lock_rescan_remove() now use\neeh_pe_bus_get_nolock() to avoid recursive lock acquisition.\n\nAdditionally, pci_lock_rescan_remove() calls are restored to the correct\nposition—after eeh_pe_bus_get() and immediately before iterating affected\nPEs and devices. This ensures EEH-triggered PCI removes occur under proper\nbus rescan locking without recursive lock contention.\n\nThe eeh_pe_loc_get() function has been split into two functions:\n    eeh_pe_loc_get(struct eeh_pe *pe) which retrieves the loc for given PE.\n    eeh_pe_loc_get_bus(struct pci_bus *bus) which retrieves the location\n    code for given bus.\n\nThis resolves lockdep
