Subject: [PATCH v17 06/12] Documentation: PCI: Remove reset_link references

From: Kuppuswamy Sathyanarayanan <sathyanarayanan.kuppuswamy@...ux.intel.com>

After pcie_do_recovery() refactor, instead of reset_link
member in struct pcie_port_service_driver, we use reset_cb
callback parameter in pcie_do_recovery() function to pass
the service driver specific reset_link function. So modify
the Documentation to reflect the latest changes.
