Evaluate the "pci_hdr" argument before attempting to deference a field. This fixes cryptic errors like this one, which came about during a debugging session: vfio/pci.c: In function 'vfio_pci_bar_activate': include/kvm/pci.h:18:40: error: invalid type argument of '->' (have 'struct pci_device_header') pr_warning("[%04x:%04x] " fmt, pci_hdr->vendor_id, pci_hdr->device_id, ##__VA_ARGS__) ^~ vfio/pci.c:482:3: note: in expansion of macro 'pci_dev_warn' pci_dev_warn(&vdev->pci.hdr, "%s: BAR4\n", __func__); This is caused by the operator precedence rules in C, where pointer deference via "->" has a higher precedence than taking the address with the ampersand symbol. When the macro is substituted, it becomes &vdev->pci.hdr->vendor_id and it dereferences vdev->pci.hdr, which is not a pointer, instead of dereferencing &vdev->pci.hdr, which is a pointer, and quite likely what the author intended.
