Please do :)  Obviously somebody thought we needed
pcie_aspm_pm_state_change() for some reason or it wouldn't have been
added.  But I didn't figure out since it was included in the very
first ASPM support: 6c723d5bd89f ("PCI: PCIE ASPM support").

Maybe the comment that "devices changed PM state, we should recheck if
latency meets all functions' requirement" is a clue but I haven't
followed up.
