While an online controller reset(OCR) is in progress, there is short duration where all access to controller's PCI config space from the host needs to be blocked. This is due to a hardware limitation of MegaRAID controllers. With this patch, driver will block all access to controller's config space from userland applications by calling pci_cfg_access_lock() while OCR is in progress and unlocking after controller comes back to ready state. Added helper function which locks the config space before initiating OCR and wait for controller to become READY.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
