After this series, there are no callers of pcie_print_link_status(),
which means we *only* print something if a device is capable of more
bandwidth than the fabric can deliver.

ISTR some desire to have this information for NICs even if the device
isn't limited, so I'm just double-checking to make sure the driver
guys are OK with this change.

There are no callers of __pcie_print_link_status() outside the PCI
core, so I would move the declaration from include/linux/pci.h to
drivers/pci/pci.h.

If we agree that we *never* need to print anything unless a device is
constrained by the fabric, I would get rid of the "verbose" flag and
keep everything in pcie_print_link_status().
