I encountered the problem that /proc/bus/pci/XX/YY is not removed even
after the corresponding device is hot-removed, if the file is still
being opened. In addtion, accessing this file in this situation causes
kernel panic (see below).
Becasue the pci_proc_detach_device() doesn't call remove_proc_entry()
if struct proc_dir_entry->count > 1, access to /proc/bus/pci/XX/YY
would refer to struct pci_dev that was already freed.
Though I don't know why the check for proc_dir_entry->count was added,
I don't think it is needed. Removing this check fixes the problem.
Steps to reproduce
------------------
# cd /sys/bus/pci/slots/2/
# PROC_BUS_PCI_FILE=/proc/bus/pci/`awk -F: '{print $2"/"$3}' < address`.0
# sleep 10000 < $PROC_BUS_PCI_FILE &
# echo 0 > power
# while true; do cat $PROC_BUS_PCI_FILE > /dev/null; done
