Commit bdb5ac85777d ("PCI/ERR: Handle fatal error recovery")
merged fatal and non-fatal error recovery paths, and also made
recovery code depend on hotplug handler for "remove affected
device + rescan" support. But this change also complicated the
error recovery path and which in turn led to the following
issues.

1. We depend on hotplug handler for removing the affected
devices/drivers on DLLSC LINK down event (on DPC event
trigger) and DPC handler for handling the error recovery. Since
both handlers operate on same set of affected devices, it leads
to race condition, which in turn leads to  NULL pointer
exceptions or error recovery failures.You can find more details
about this issue in following link.

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/20201007113158.48933-1-haifeng.zhao@xxxxxxxxx/T/#t

2. For non-hotplug capable devices fatal (DPC) error recovery
is currently broken. Current fatal error recovery implementation
relies on PCIe hotplug (pciehp) handler for detaching and
re-enumerating the affected devices/drivers. So when dealing with
non-hotplug capable devices, recovery code does not restore the state
of the affected devices correctly. You can find more details about
this issue in the following links.

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/20200527083130.4137-1-Zhiqiang.Hou@xxxxxxx/

In order to fix the above two issues, we should stop relying on hotplug
handler for cleaning the affected devices/drivers and let error recovery
handler own this functionality. So this patch reverts Commit bdb5ac85777d
("PCI/ERR: Handle fatal error recovery") and re-introduce the  "remove
affected device + rescan"  functionality in fatal error recovery handler.

Also holding pci_lock_rescan_remove() will prevent the race between hotplug
and DPC handler.
