Subject: [PATCH v4 1/2] pci/hotplug/pnv_php: Fix hotplug driver crash on Powernv

Description of the problem: The hotplug driver for powerpc
(pci/hotplug/pnv_php.c) gives kernel crash when we try to
hot-unplug/disable the PCIe switch/bridge from the PHB.

Root Cause of Crash: The crash is due to the reason that, though the msi
data structure has been released during disable/hot-unplug path and it
has been assigned with NULL, still during unregistration the code was
again trying to explicitly disable the MSI which causes the NULL pointer
dereference and kernel crash.

The patch fixes the check during unregistration path to prevent invoking
pci_disable_msi/msix() since its data structure is already freed.
