During recent strick checking about sysfs_remove from Eric. it will spit more bitter warning. For SRIOV hotplug, we are calling pci_stop_dev() for VF at first. (after we update pci_stop_bus_devices). that pci_stop_dev will calling device_unregiste for that VF, so that directory in VF is removed already. We double checking if that VF dir in /sys is there, before try removing that physfn link.
