[RFC 3/5] PCI: hv: Set NULL as the ACPI device for the PCI host bridge

A PCI host bridge of Hyper-V doesn't have the corresponding ACPI device,
therefore a NULL pointer needs to be set as the ->private of
pci_host_bridge since for platforms with ACPI ->private is used to store
the ACPI device information for the host bridges.

And since kzalloc() is used to allocate pci_host_bridge, as a result,
what is needed is just setting the correct size of ->private, kzalloc()
will zero the field as if set a NULL pointer to it.
