I've just realized that we don't need a new flag for that, though.

It looks like we only need to check dev->dev.kobj.parent and return if that is
NULL, because that means pci_destroy_dev() has run for that device already
(I'm wondering why device_del() doesn't clear dev->parent, BTW, it looks like
it should do that?).

Of course, that still is going to be racy if we don't hold
pci_remove_rescan_mutex around pci_stop_and_remove_bus_device() in every code
path using it (or use another similar synchronization mechanism).

Thanks,
Rafael
