PCI: Move device_del() from pci_stop_dev() to pci_destroy_dev()

After commit bcdde7e2 (sysfs: make __sysfs_remove_dir() recursive)
I'm seeing traces analogous to the one below in Thunderbolt testing:

(Mika Westerberg sees them too in his tests).

Some investigation documented in kernel bug #65281 led me to the
conclusion that the source of the problem is the device_del() in
pci_stop_dev() as it now causes the sysfs directory of the device to be
removed recursively along with all of its subdirectories.  That includes
the sysfs directory of the device's subordinate bus (dev->subordinate) and
its "power" group.

Consequently, when pci_remove_bus() is called for dev->subordinate in
pci_remove_bus_device(), it calls device_unregister(&bus->dev), but at this
point the sysfs directory of bus->dev doesn't exist any more and its
"power" group doesn't exist either.  Thus, when dpm_sysfs_remove() called
from device_del() tries to remove that group, it triggers the above
warning.

That indicates a logical mistake in the design of
pci_stop_and_remove_bus_device(), which causes bus device objects to be
left behind their parents (bridge device objects) and can be fixed by
moving the device_del() from pci_stop_dev() into pci_destroy_dev(), so
pci_remove_bus() can be called for the device's subordinate bus before the
device itself is unregistered from the hierarchy.  Still, the driver, if
any, should be detached from the device in pci_stop_dev(), so use
device_release_driver() directly from there.
