PCI: Fix pci_slot_release() NULL pointer dereference

If kobject_init_and_add() fails, pci_slot_release() is called to delete
slot->list from parent->slots.  But slot->list hasn't been initialized
yet, so we dereference a NULL pointer:

  Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address

Initialize slot->list before calling kobject_init_and_add() to avoid this.
