    PCI: Fix oops in pci_vpd_truncate
    
    pci_vpd_truncate() should check for dev->vpd->attr, otherwise this might
    happen:
    
      sky2 driver version 1.22
      Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x0000000c
      Faulting instruction address: 0xc01836fc
      Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]
      [...]
      NIP [c01836fc] pci_vpd_truncate+0x38/0x40
      LR [c029be18] sky2_probe+0x14c/0x518
      Call Trace:

    This happens with CONFIG_SKY2=y, and "ip=on" kernel command line, so
    pci_vpd_truncate() is called before late_initcall(pci_sysfs_init),
    therefore ->attr isn't yet initialized.
