Current pcie_do_recovery() implementation has following two issues:

1. Fatal (DPC) error recovery is currently broken for non-hotplug
capable devices. Current fatal error recovery implementation relies
on PCIe hotplug (pciehp) handler for detaching and re-enumerating
the affected devices/drivers. pciehp handler listens for DLLSC state
changes and handles device/driver detachment on DLLSC_LINK_DOWN event
and re-enumeration on DLLSC_LINK_UP event. So when dealing with
non-hotplug capable devices, recovery code does not restore the state
of the affected devices correctly. Correct implementation should
restore the device state and call report_slot_reset() function after
resetting the link to restore the state of the device/driver.

You can find fatal non-hotplug related issues reported in following links:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/20200527083130.4137-1-Zhiqiang.Hou@xxxxxxx/
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/12115.1588207324@famine/

2. For non-fatal errors if report_error_detected() or
report_mmio_enabled() functions requests PCI_ERS_RESULT_NEED_RESET then
current pcie_do_recovery() implementation does not do the requested
explicit device reset, instead just calls the report_slot_reset() on all
affected devices. Notifying about the reset via report_slot_reset()
without doing the actual device reset is incorrect.

To fix above issues, use PCI_ERS_RESULT_NEED_RESET as error state after
successful reset_link() operation. This will ensure ->slot_reset() be
called after reset_link() operation for fatal errors. Also call
pci_bus_reset() to do slot/bus reset() before triggering device specific
->slot_reset() callback. Also, using pci_bus_reset() will restore the state
of the devices after performing the reset operation.

Even though using pci_bus_reset() will do redundant reset operation after
->reset_link() for fatal errors, it should should affect the functional
behavior.
Any comment on this patch?
