I think all current any callers of pcie_clear_device_status() are also
under CONFIG_PCIEAER, so I don't think this fixes a current problem.

As you point out, it might make sense to use
pcie_clear_device_status() even without AER, but I think we should
include this change at the time when we add such a use.

If I'm missing a use with the current kernel, let me know.
