[PATCH v9 05/13] PCI: liveupdate: Auto-preserve upstream bridges across Live Update

[sashiko-bot at kernel.org]

> When a PCI device is preserved across a Live Update, all of its upstream
> bridges up to the root port must also be preserved. This enables the PCI
> core and any drivers bound to the bridges to manage bridges correctly
> across a Live Update.
> 
> Notably, this will be used in subsequent commits to ensure that
> preserved devices can continue performing memory transactions without a
> disruption or change in routing.
> 
> To preserve bridges, the PCI core tracks the number of downstream
> devices preserved under each bridge using a reference count in struct
> pci_dev_ser. This allows a bridge to remain preserved until all its
> downstream preserved devices are unpreserved or finish their
> participation in the Live Update.
