After hotplugging a bridge the PCI topology will be changed: buses may have their numbers changed. In this case all the affected sysfs entries/symlinks must be recreated, because they have BDF address in their names. Set the freed pointers to NULL, so the !NULL checks will be satisfied when its time to recreate the sysfs entries.
