[PATCH] powerpc/pseries: mutex lock to serialize EEH event processing

This forces the processing of EEH PCI events to be serialized,
using a very simple mutex lock. This serialization is required to
avoid races involving additional PCI device failures that may occur
during the recovery phase of a previous failure.
