powernv/eeh: Use generic code to handle hot resets
When we reset PCI devices managed by a hotplug driver the reset may generate spurious hotplug events that cause the PCI device we're resetting to be torn down accidently. This is a problem for EEH (when the driver is EEH aware) since we want to leave the OS PCI device state intact so that the device can be re-set without losing any resources (network, disks, etc) provided by the driver. Generic PCI code provides the pci_bus_error_reset() function to handle resetting a PCI Device (or bus) by using the reset method provided by the hotplug slot driver. We can use this function if the EEH core has requested a hot reset (common case) without tripping over the hotplug driver.
