Subject: [PATCH 4.10 34/75] pci/hotplug/pnv-php: Remove WARN_ON() in pnv_php_put_slot()

4.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Gavin Shan <gwshan@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

commit 36c7c9da40c408a71e5e6bfe12e57dcf549a296d upstream.

The WARN_ON() causes unnecessary backtrace when putting the parent
slot, which is likely to be NULL.
