PCI: Avoid unnecessary CPU switch when calling driver .probe() method

If we are already on a CPU local to the device, call the driver .probe()
method directly without using work_on_cpu().

This is a workaround for a lockdep warning in the following scenario:

  pci_call_probe
    work_on_cpu(cpu, local_pci_probe, ...)
      driver .probe
        pci_enable_sriov
          ...
            pci_bus_add_device
              ...
                pci_call_probe
                  work_on_cpu(cpu, local_pci_probe, ...)

It would be better to fix PCI so we don't call VF driver .probe() methods
from inside a PF driver .probe() method, but that's a bigger project.
