Sentinel values aren't really my favorite thing, but it certainly does
have the advantage of hiding the sysfs attribute.

I'm pretty sure I *had* a reason, but I can't remember right now :(
Moving it sure does uglify pci_read_vpd() and pci_write_vpd(), though.

What do you think of the following?  (This is a diff from v5.15-rc1.)
