[PATCH v1] PCI: Add write-only 'uevent' sysfs attribute for PCI slots

[Ramesh Errabolu]

Add a new write-only 'uevent' attribute to PCI slot sysfs
entries. This provides a mechanism for userspace to explicitly
synthesize PCI slot uevents when needed.

For cold-plugged PCI devices, slots may be created before
udev is ready to receive events, causing the initial 'add'
uevents to be missed. As a result, slot specific udev
rules that define naming, permissions, and related policies,
are not applied at boot. Allowing userspace to resynthesize
the 'add' uevent ensures these rules are processed correctly.

The patch was validated by manually triggering PCI slot 'add'
uevents through the slot’s 'uevent' sysfs file and confirming
that udev received and processed those events. The following
command raises an 'add' uevent for a specific PCI slot:

    $ echo "add $(uuidgen)" | sudo tee   \
                /sys/bus/pci/slots/<slot-id>/uevent
