The function eeh_pe_reset_and_recover() is used to recover EEH error when the passthrough device are transferred to guest and backwards, meaning the device's driver is vfio-pci or none. When the driver is vfio-pci that provides error_detected() error handler only, the handler simply stops the guest and it's not expected behaviour. On the other hand, no error handlers will be called if we don't have a bound driver. This ignores the error handler in eeh_pe_reset_and_recover() that reports the error to device driver to avoid the exceptional behaviour.
