Yes, in case of non-fatal AER, reset_link() callback (aer_root_reset() for 
AER and dpc_reset_link() for DPC) will not be invoked. And if 
.error_detected() return PCI_ERS_RESULT_CAN_RECOVER, .mmio_enabled() be
called followed.

But if pcie_do_recovery() is called with state == pci_channel_io_frozen,
reset_link() callback is called after .error_detected() but before
.mmio_enabled(). So I thought Step 2: MMIO Enabled and Step 3: Link Reset
should rearrange their sequence.
