Subject: PCI: Support PCIe Capability Slot registers only for ports with slots

From: Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 6d3a1741f1e648cfbd5a0cc94477a0d5004c6f5e upstream.

Previously we allowed callers to access Slot Capabilities, Status, and
Control for Root Ports even if the Root Port did not implement a slot.
This seems dubious because the spec only requires these registers if a
slot is implemented.

It's true that even Root Ports without slots must have *space* for these
slot registers, because the Root Capabilities, Status, and Control
registers are after the slot registers in the capability.  However,
for a v1 PCIe Capability, the *semantics* of the slot registers are
undefined unless a slot is implemented.
