Subject: [RFC PATCH v5 0/4] PCI/ASPM: Remove struct aspm_latency

To validate and set link latency capability, `struct aspm_latency` and
related members defined within `struct pcie_link_state` are used.
However, since there are not many access to theses values, it is
possible to directly access and compute these values.

Doing this will also reduce the dependency on `struct pcie_link_state`.

The series removes `struct aspm_latency` and related members within
`struct pcie_link_state`. All latencies are now calculated when needed.

VERSION CHANGES:
- v2:
»       - directly access downstream by calling `pci_function_0()`
»         instead of using the `struct pcie_link_state`
- v3:
»       - rebase on Linux 5.15-rc2
- v4
»       - Create a seprate path to move pci_function_0() upward
- v5
	- shorten long lines as noted in the review

MERGE NOTICE:
These series are based on
»       'commit fa55b7dcdc43 ("Linux 5.16-rc1")'
