What happens without this test?

Does AER read registers from the now-disabled device and get ~0 data?
Or is AER reading registers from the port upstream from the disabled
device and trying to reset the device?

It looks like get_device_error_info() reads registers and doesn't
check to see whether it gets ~0 back.  I'm wondering if we *should* be
checking there and whether doing that would help mitigate the issue
here.

I don't really like the pcie_port_query_uptream_service() approach
(BTW, the name is misspelled) because it feels a little ad hoc and it
makes assumptions here in the AER code about what the DPC code is
doing, e.g., how it has configured PCI_EXP_DPC_CTL.
