PCI/ASPM: Use dev->has_secondary_link to find downstream links

We allocate pcie_link_state for the component at the upstream end of a
Link.  Previously we did this by allocating pcie_link_state for Root Ports
and Downstream Ports.  This works fine for the typical topology:

  00:1c.0 Root Port       [bridge to bus 02]
  02:00.0 Upstream Port   [bridge to bus 03]
  03:00.0 Downstream Port [bridge to bus 04]
  04:00.0 Endpoint or Switch Port

However, it is possible to have a Root Port connected to a Downstream Port
instead of an Upstream Port, as in Robert White's ATCA system:

  00:1c.0 Root Port       [bridge to bus 02]
  02:00.0 Downstream Port [bridge to bus 03]
  03:01.0 Downstream Port [bridge to bus 04]
  04:00.0 Endpoint or Switch Port

In this topology, we wrongly allocated pcie_link_state for the 02:00.0
Downstream Port, which is actually the *downstream* end of a link.  This
led to the following NULL pointer dereference when we tried to connect this
link into the tree of links starting at the 00:1c.0 Root Port:

  BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000088
  IP: [<ffffffff81550324>] pcie_aspm_init_link_state+0x744/0x850
  Hardware name: Kontron B3001/B3001, BIOS 4.6.3 08/07/2012
  Call Trace:
   [<ffffffff8153b865>] pci_scan_slot+0xd5/0x120
   [<ffffffff8153ca1d>] pci_scan_child_bus+0x2d/0xd0
   ...

Instead of relying on the component type to identify the upstream end of a
link, use the "dev->has_secondary_link" field.

This means it's now possible for an Upstream Port to have a link on its
secondary side, so alloc_pcie_link_state() needs to connect links
originating from both Upstream and Downstream Ports into the tree.
