> hv_pci_probe() -> hv_pci_enter_d0() -> hv_pci_bus_exit(hdev, true): the
> parameter "keep_devs" is true, so hv_pci_bus_exit() does *not* release the
> child "struct hv_pci_dev *hpdev" that is created earlier in
> pci_devices_present_work() -> new_pcichild_device().
> 
> The commit d6af2ed29c7c was originally made in July 2020 for RHEL 7.7,
> where the old version of hv_pci_bus_exit() was used; when the commit was
> rebased and merged into the upstream, people didn't notice that it's
> not really necessary. The commit itself doesn't cause any issue, but it
> makes hv_pci_probe() more complicated. Revert it to facilitate some
> upcoming changes to hv_pci_probe().
