Added a stable tag and applied with Rafael's reviewed-by to pci/pm for
v4.13, thanks!

pci_restore_state() restores a lot of stuff besides MSI/MSI-X: PCIe
device, link, slot control, ATS, VC, BARs, ACS, IOV. I guess I'm a
little surprised that we haven't noticed more issues if all these
things were broken.
