I think we probably want this in v4.16, since it seems to be a fix for
8bb705e3e79d ("PCI: Add pci_resize_resource() for resizing BARs"),
which appeared in v4.15.

What does the crash look like?  I might include a few lines in the
changelog to help people find the fix.

I added a Fixes: tag and Andy's Reviewed-by already.
