v3 cover PCI hotplug driver fixes

The fix of Powerpc hotplug driver (drivers/pci/hotplug/pnv_php.c) addresses below two issues.

1. Kernel Crash during hot unplug of bridge/switch slot.

2. Bridge Support Enablement - Previously, when we do a hot-unplug operation on a bridge slot, all the ports and devices behind the bridge-ports would be hot-unplugged/offline, but when we do a hot-plug operation on the same bridge slot, all the ports and devices behind the bridge would not get hot-plugged/online. In this case, Only the first port of the bridge gets enabled and the remaining port/devices remain unplugged/offline. After the fix, The hot-unplug and hot-plug operations on the slot associated with the bridge started behaving correctly and became in sync. Now, after the hot plug operation on the same slot, all the bridge ports and devices behind the bridge become hot-plugged/online/restored in the same manner as it was before the hot-unplug operation.

PATCH v3 1/2 pci/hotplug/pnv_php: Fix hotplug driver crash on Powernv

Description of the problem: The hotplug driver for powerpc (pci/hotplug/pnv_php.c) gives kernel crash when we try to hot-unplug/disable the PCIe switch/bridge from the PHB.

Root Cause of Crash: The crash is due to the reason that, though the msi data structure has been released during disable/hot-unplug path and it has been assigned with NULL, still during unregistartion the code was again trying to explicitly disable the msi which causes the Null pointer dereference and kernel crash.

Proposed Fix : The fix is to correct the check during unregistration path so that the code should not try to invoke pci_disable_msi/msix() if its data structure is already freed.

I expect this series would go through the powerpc tree since that's where most of the chance is.

PATCH v3 2/2 powerpc: hotplug driver bridge support

In reply to Krishna Kumar

There is an issue with the hotplug operation when it's done on the bridge/switch slot. The bridge-port and devices behind the bridge, which become offline by hot-unplug operation, don't get hot-plugged/enabled by doing hot-plug operation on that slot. Only the first port of the bridge gets enabled and the remaining port/devices remain unplugged. The hot plug/unplug operation is done by the hotplug driver (drivers/pci/hotplug/pnv_php.c).

Root Cause Analysis: This behavior is due to missing code for the switch/bridge. The existing driver depends on pci_hp_add_devices() function for device enablement. This function calls pci_scan_slot() on only one device-node/port of the bridge, not on all the siblings' device-node/port.

The missing code needs to be added which will find all the sibling device-nodes/bridge-ports and will run explicit pci_scan_slot() on those. A new function has been added for this purpose which gets invoked from pci_hp_add_devices(). This new function pci_traverse_sibling_nodes_and_scan_slot() gets all the sibling bridge-ports by traversal and explicitly invokes pci_scan_slot on them.
