Why?  What was the process stuck sleeping on?

I assume this is supposed to be Signed-off-by: ?

This seems dangerous, especially now that we have PCI_MULTITHREAD_PROBE:
nothing prevents ipath_cdev_init() from being called twice.  Better to
use something like test_and_set_bit() to make sure this is done
exactly once.
