Subject: [PATCH 1/3] pciehp: Prioritize data-link event over presence detect

This patch places higher precedence on a Data Link Layer Status Change
event over the Presence Detect Change event in the case the slot status
contains both events in the same interrupt.

When both events are observed, the pciehp driver is currently relying on
the Slot Status Presence Detect State (PDS) agree with the Link Status
Data Link Layer Active status. The Presence Detect State, however, may
be set to 1 through out-of-band presence detect mechanism even though
the link is down, which creates conflicting events.

Since the Link Status accurately reflects the reachability of the down
stream bus, the link change event should take precedence over a present
detect event. This patch skips checking the PDC status we handled a link
event in the same handler.
