PCI: Don't acquire ref on parent in pci_bridge_d3_update()



This function is always called with an existing pci_dev struct, which
holds a reference on the pci_bus struct it resides on, which in turn
holds a reference on pci_bus->bridge, which is the pci_dev's parent.

Hence there's no need to acquire an additional ref on the parent.

More specifically, the pci_dev exists until pci_destroy_dev() drops the
final reference on it, so all calls to pci_bridge_d3_update() must be
finished before that.  It is arguably the caller's responsibility to ensure
that it doesn't call pci_bridge_d3_update() with a pci_dev that might
suddenly disappear, but in any case the existing callers are all safe:

- The call in pci_destroy_dev() happens before the call to put_device().
- The call in pci_bus_add_device() is synchronized with pci_destroy_dev()
  using pci_lock_rescan_remove().
- The calls to pci_d3cold_disable() from the xhci and nouveau drivers
  are safe because a ref on the pci_dev is held as long as it's bound to
  a driver.
- The calls to pci_d3cold_enable() / pci_d3cold_disable() when modifying
  the sysfs "d3cold_allowed" entry are also safe because kernfs_drain()
  waits for existing sysfs users to finish before removing the entry,
  and pci_destroy_dev() is called way after that.

No functional change intended.
