Subject: [PATCH 4/5] PCI: don't touch enable_cnt in pci_device_shutdown()

comment in commit b566a22c23327f18ce941ffad0ca907e50a53d41
("PCI: disable Bus Master on PCI device shutdown") says:

| Disable Bus Master bit on the device in pci_device_shutdown() to ensure PCI
| devices do not continue to DMA data after shutdown.  This can cause memory
| corruption in case of a kexec where the current kernel shuts down and
| transfers control to a new kernel while a PCI device continues to DMA to
| memory that does not belong to it any more in the new kernel.

Seems like pci_clear_master() must be used here instead of pci_disable_device(),
because it disables Bus Muster unconditionally and doesn't changes enable_cnt.
