[PATCH] pci: don't fallback to bus reset after failed slot reset

From: Keith Busch <kbusch@kernel.org>

If a bus has hotplug slots that implement the slot's reset_slot
callback, it is not safe to do the non-slot specific bus reset, so don't
fallback to it. If a slot reset does fail, the subsequent bus reset will
attempt a 2nd link reset on top of previous and fail to handle the
hotplug events.

Fixes: 8238cb69c01fe ("PCI: Make reset_subordinate hotplug safe")
