Subject: [PATCH 0/3] pci-hyperv: fix memory leak and add pci_destroy_slot()

Patch #1 fixes a memory leak caused by incorrectly-maintained hpdev->refs.

Patch #2 and #3 make sure the "slot" is removed in all the scenarios.
Without them, in the quick hot-add/hot-remove test, systemd-dev may easily
crash when trying to access a dangling sys file in /sys/bus/pci/slots/:
"BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request".

BTW, Patch #2 was posted on Feb 7, 2019, and this is the v2: the change
to hv_eject_device_work() in v1 is removed, as the change is only needed
when we hot-remove the device and remove the pci-hyperv driver at the 
same time. It looks more work is required to make this scenaro work
correctly, and since removing the driver is not really a "usual" usage,
we can address this scenario in the future.

Please review the patchset.

Dexuan Cui (3):
  PCI: hv: Fix a memory leak in hv_eject_device_work()
  PCI: hv: Add hv_pci_remove_slots() when we unload the driver
  PCI: hv: Add pci_destroy_slot() in pci_devices_present_work(), if
    necessary
