I think the thing we see in practice for a device that's wedged and
returning -1 from config space is that the FLR will timeout waiting for
a pending transaction.  So this should fix that, but should we log
something?

I'm assuming AF FLR is not needed here because we don't cache the
offset and therefore won't find the capability when we search the chain
for it.

Doesn't this turn out to be redundant to the test below?
