Sure, I'll reorder. As you can see here, link will be only removed if
root port is being removed.

Without this, we'll hit the use after free issue you mentioned.

	if (pdev->has_secondary_link) {
		link = pdev->link_state;
		down_read(&pci_bus_sem);
		mutex_lock(&aspm_lock);

		list_del(&link->sibling);
		list_del(&link->link);

		/* Clock PM is for endpoint device */
		free_link_state(link);
		mutex_unlock(&aspm_lock);
		up_read(&pci_bus_sem);
		return;
	}
