This is a gross hack. Iterating through all known pci_devs to see if
this one still exists?

I reproduced the original problem, applied this patch, and verified
that it avoids the original crash.

However, it's still incorrect because now you're looking at pdev after
it's been freed. With CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON=y, the removal still causes
a crash in remove_callback().
