Subject: PCIe: AER: during disable, check subordinate before walking
From: Alex Chiang <achiang@xxxxxx>

Commit 47a8b0cc (Enable PCIe AER only after checking firmware
support) wants to walk the PCI bus in the remove path to disable
AER, and calls pci_walk_bus for downstream bridges.

Unfortunately, in the remove path, we remove devices and bridges in a
depth-first manner, starting with the furthest downstream bridge and
working our way backwards.

The furthest downstream bridges will not have a dev->subordinate, and we
hit a NULL deref in pci_walk_bus.

Check for dev->subordinate first before attempting to walk the PCI
hierarchy below us.
