s/do no/do/not/ (also in the comment below)

Does the user get any indication of this leaking state?  I looked
through drivers/vfio and drivers/pci, but I haven't found anything
yet.

We *could* log something in quirk_no_bus_reset(), but that would just
be noise for people who don't pass the device through to a VM.  So
maybe it would be nicer if we logged something when we actually *do*
pass it through to a VM.
