PCI: Add NVIDIA GPU multi-function power dependencies

The NVIDIA Turing GPU is a multi-function PCI device with the following
functions:

  - Function 0: VGA display controller
  - Function 1: Audio controller
  - Function 2: USB xHCI Host controller
  - Function 3: USB Type-C UCSI controller

Function 0 is tightly coupled with other functions in the hardware.  When
function 0 is in D3, it gates power for hardware blocks used by other
functions, which means those functions only work when function 0 is in D0.
If any of these functions (1/2/3) are in D0, then function 0 should also be
in D0.

Commit 07f4f97d

 ("vga_switcheroo: Use device link for HDA controller")
already creates a device link to show the dependency of function 1 on
function 0 of this GPU.  Create additional device links to express the
dependencies of functions 2 and 3 on function 0.  This means function 0
will be in D0 if any other function is in D0.

[bhelgaas: I think the PCI spec expectation is that functions can be
power-managed independently, so I don't think this device is technically
compliant.  For example, the PCIe r5.0 spec, sec 1.4, says "the PCI/PCIe
hardware/software model includes architectural constructs necessary to
discover, configure, and use a Function, without needing Function-specific
knowledge" and sec 5.1 says "D states are associated with a particular
Function" and "PM provides ... a mechanism to identify power management
capabilities of a given Function [and] the ability to transition a Function
into a certain power management state."]
