PCI: add rescan to /sys/.../pci_bus/.../
After remove the device from /sys, we have to rescan all or
find out the bridge and access /sys../device/rescan there.
this patch add /sys/.../pci_bus/.../rescan. So user can rescan more easy.
that is more clean and easy to understand.
like after remove 0000:c4:00.0, you can rescan 0000:c4 directly.
-v2: According to Jesse, use function instead of exposing attr, so could hide
#ifdef in header file.
also add code to remove rescan file in remove path.
-v3: GregKH pointed out that we should use dev_attrs to avoid racing.
So add pcibus_attrs and make it to be member of pcibus_attrs.
-v4: Change name to pcibus_dev_attrs according to GregKH
