Rework the invocations around ap_scan_bus(): - Protect ap_scan_bus() with a mutex to make sure only one scan at a time is running. - The workqueue invocation which is triggered by either the module init or via AP bus scan timer expiration uses this mutex and if there is already a scan running, the work is simple aborted (as the job is done by another task). - The ap_bus_force_rescan() which is invoked by higher level layers mostly on failures which indicate a bus scan may help is reworked to call ap_scan_bus() direct instead of enqueuing work into a system workqueue and waiting for that to finish. Of course the mutex is respected and in case of another task already running a bus scan the shortcut of waiting for this scan to finish and reusing the scan result is taken.

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.
