This patch is needed for kexec/KHO/LUO reboot: firmware reset is skipped, so the GPU may remain in an active/DMA 
state and the next kernel can fail to re-init nouveau. We can’t call the full DRM/TTM teardown from ->shutdown() because
userspace may still hold DRM fds during shutdown, which triggers WARNs.

So the shutdown hook reuses the suspend/quiesce path (safe with open fds) and then powers down the PCI function (D3hot)
to leave the device in a consistent state for the next kernel.
