In the current kernel, we just set the CPU address to the bus address
if we can't find the match region for one specific bus address. If BAR
of one pci device is set to address which happens to be a legitimate
CPU address by firmware, the kernel will think this resource is legal
and will not try to reassign later. In cases the CPU address and bus
address isn't equal, the device will not work. So we should check
if we can translate the bus address to CPU address correctly. If not,
we should unset this resource and wish the kernel will reassign it
later.

Since we will invoke pcibios_bus_to_resource unconditionally if we
don't goto fail, move it out of if/else wrap.

Hi Kevin,
      Will this break subtractive decode PCI bridges and devices?

No. A subtractive decode occurs only when no other pci bridge or device
claim the transactions. As you can see that when we are trying to translate
a bus address to cpu address we search the address regions of pci host
bridge instead of a pci bridge. The pci host bridge address regions should
cover all the bus address we can use for the pci device or bridge under this
pci controller. This definitely also include the bus address regions used by
the expansion bus for subtractive decode. So if a pci device use a bus address
that is unknown to this pci host bridge, there is definitely something wrong
here. This is the case we are trying to fix.

Hi Kevin,
I'm not sure about this assumption "the pci host bridge address regions should cover all the bus address we can use for the pci device or bridge under this pci controller". I have a fear that it may cause regressions to some legacy x86 platforms, such as an AMD
platform with PCI based IOAPICs, though I have no evidences for it.
