[PATCH] arch/i386/pci/mmconfig.c tlb flush fix

We use the fixmap for accessing pci config space in pci_mmcfg_read/write().
The problem is in pci_exp_set_dev_base(). It is caching a last
accessed address to avoid calling set_fixmap_nocache() whenever
pci_mmcfg_read/write() is used.

  static inline void pci_exp_set_dev_base(int bus, int devfn)
  {
u32 dev_base = base | (bus << 20) | (devfn << 12);
if (dev_base != mmcfg_last_accessed_device) {
mmcfg_last_accessed_device = dev_base;
set_fixmap_nocache(FIX_PCIE_MCFG, dev_base);
}
  }

            cpu0                                        cpu1
  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    pci_mmcfg_read("device-A")
        pci_exp_set_dev_base()
            set_fixmap_nocache()
                                              pci_mmcfg_read("device-B")
                                                  pci_exp_set_dev_base()
                                                      set_fixmap_nocache()
    pci_mmcfg_read("device-B")
        pci_exp_set_dev_base()
            /* doesn't flush tlb */

But if cpus accessed the above order, the second pci_mmcfg_read() on
cpu0 doesn't flush the TLB, because "mmcfg_last_accessed_device" is
device-B.  So, second pci_mmcfg_read() on cpu0 accesses a device-A via
a previous TLB cache. This problem became the cause of several strange
behavior.

This patches fixes this situation by adds "mmcfg_last_accessed_cpu" check.

[ Alternatively, we could make a per-cpu mapping area or something. Not
  that it's probably worth it, but if we wanted to avoid all locking and
  instead just disable preemption, that would be the way to go. --Linus ]
