Add MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques that apply to this CVE.

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

PCI: Add missing bridge lock to pci_bus_lock()

One of the true positives that the cfg_access_lock lockdep effort
identified is this sequence:

WARNING: CPU: 14 PID: 1 at drivers/pci/pci.c:4886 pci_bridge_secondary_bus_reset+0x5d/0x70
RIP: 0010:pci_bridge_secondary_bus_reset+0x5d/0x70
Call Trace:
<TASK>
? __warn+0x8c/0x190
? pci_bridge_secondary_bus_reset+0x5d/0x70
? report_bug+0x1f8/0x200

pci_reset_bus+0x1d8/0x270
vmd_probe+0x778/0xa10
pci_device_probe+0x95/0x120

Where pci_reset_bus() users are triggering unlocked secondary bus resets.
Ironically pci_bus_reset(), several calls down from pci_reset_bus(), uses
pci_bus_lock() before issuing the reset which locks everything but the
bridge itself.

For the same motivation as adding:

bridge = pci_upstream_bridge(dev);
if (bridge)

pci_dev_lock(bridge);

to pci_reset_function() for the “bus” and “cxl_bus” reset cases, add
pci_dev_lock() for @bus->self to pci_bus_lock().
