PCI/AER: Flush workqueue on device remove to avoid use-after-free

A Root Port's AER structure (rpc) contains a queue of events.  aer_irq()
enqueues AER status information and schedules aer_isr() to dequeue and
process it.  When we remove a device, aer_remove() waits for the queue to
be empty, then frees the rpc struct.

But aer_isr() references the rpc struct after dequeueing and possibly
emptying the queue, which can cause a use-after-free error as in the
following scenario with two threads, aer_isr() on the left and a
concurrent aer_remove() on the right:

  Thread A                      Thread B
  --------                      --------
  aer_irq():
    rpc->prod_idx++
                                aer_remove():
                                  wait_event(rpc->prod_idx == rpc->cons_idx)
                                  # now blocked until queue becomes empty
  aer_isr():                      # ...
    rpc->cons_idx++               # unblocked because queue is now empty
    ...                           kfree(rpc)
    mutex_unlock(&rpc->rpc_mutex)

To prevent this problem, use flush_work() to wait until the last scheduled
instance of aer_isr() has completed before freeing the rpc struct in
aer_remove().

I reproduced this use-after-free by flashing a device FPGA and
re-enumerating the bus to find the new device.  With SLUB debug, this
crashes with 0x6b bytes (POISON_FREE, the use-after-free magic number) in
GPR25:
