When sriov_numvfs is being updated, we call the driver->sriov_configure()
function, which may enable VFs and call probe functions, which may make new
devices visible.  This all happens before before sriov_numvfs_store()
updates sriov->num_VFs, so previously, concurrent sysfs reads of
sriov_numvfs returned stale values.

Serialize the sysfs read vs the write so the read returns the correct
num_VFs value.

[bhelgaas: hold device_lock instead of checking mutex_is_locked()]
