PCI/PM: Fix deadlock when unbinding device if parent in D3cold

If a PCI device and its parents are put into D3cold, unbinding the
device will trigger deadlock as follow:

- driver_unbind
  - device_release_driver
    - device_lock(dev)				<--- previous lock here
    - __device_release_driver
      - pm_runtime_get_sync
        ...
          - rpm_resume(dev)
            - rpm_resume(dev->parent)
              ...
                - pci_pm_runtime_resume
                  ...
                  - pci_set_power_state
                    - __pci_start_power_transition
                      - pci_wakeup_bus(dev->parent->subordinate)
                        - pci_walk_bus
                          - device_lock(dev)	<--- deadlock here


If we do not do device_lock in pci_walk_bus, we can avoid deadlock.
Device_lock in pci_walk_bus is introduced in commit:
d71374da

, corresponding email thread
is: https://lkml.org/lkml/2006/5/26/38.  The patch author Zhang Yanmin
said device_lock is added to pci_walk_bus because:

  Some error handling functions call pci_walk_bus. For example, PCIe
  aer. Here we lock the device, so the driver wouldn't detach from the
  device, as the cb might call driver's callback function.

So I fixed the deadlock as follows:

- remove device_lock from pci_walk_bus
- add device_lock into callback if callback will call driver's callback

I checked pci_walk_bus users one by one, and found only PCIe aer needs
device lock.
