PCI Hotplug: acpiphp: don't store a pci_dev in acpiphp_func
An oops can occur if a user attempts to use both PCI logical
hotplug and the ACPI physical hotplug driver (acpiphp) in this
sequence, where $slot/address == $device.
In other words, if acpiphp has claimed a PCI device, and that
device is logically removed, then acpiphp may oops when it
attempts to access it again.
# echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/$device/remove
# echo 0 > /sys/bus/pci/slots/$slot/power
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference (address 0000000000000000)

The root cause of this oops is that the logical remove ("echo 1 >
/sys/bus/pci/devices/$device/remove") destroyed the pci_dev. The
pci_dev struct itself wasn't deallocated because acpiphp kept a
reference, but some of its fields became invalid.
acpiphp doesn't have any real reason to keep a pointer to a
pci_dev around. It can always derive it using pci_get_slot().
If a logical remove destroys the pci_dev, acpiphp won't find it
and is thus prevented from causing mischief.
