Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] x86/quirks: Apply nvidia_bugs quirk only on root bus

Since commit 8659c406ade3 ("x86: only scan the root bus in early PCI
quirks"), early quirks are only applied to devices on the root bus.
The motivation was to prevent application of the nvidia_bugs quirk on
secondary buses.

We're about to reintroduce scanning of secondary buses for a quirk to
reset the Broadcom 4331 wireless card on 2011/2012 Macs. To prevent
regressions, open code the requirement to apply nvidia_bugs only on the
root bus.
