pci_stop_and_remove_bus_device() is not necessary to prevent kernel
crashing. But without this, we cannot hot-plug any other devices to this
slot afterward, despite the bridge has already been removed. Below is what
happens without pci_stop_and_remove_bus_device().

First, we hotplug a bridge. That fails, so QEMU removes this bridge:
(qemu) device_add pci-bridge,id=br2,bus=br1,chassis_nr=19,addr=1
[    9.289609] shpchp 0000:01:00.0: Latch close on Slot(1-1)

[   15.555246] shpchp 0000:01:00.0: Card not present on Slot(1-1)

Then, hot-plug an ethernet device. But the kernel still incorrectly
thought the bridge is still there, and refuses this new ethernet device:
(qemu) device_add e1000,bus=br1,addr=1
