[PATCH 1/3] PCI: apple: Fix ECAM config window use-after-free

pcie-apple.c has no ->remove for pci_host_common_init(), so unbinding only
runs devres_release_all(): gen_pci_unmap_cfg() -> pci_ecam_free() frees the
ECAM config window while the bus tree stays registered - only
pci_remove_bus() unlinks a bus, and only pci_host_common_remove() reaches
it for a root bus.  The next config access is a use-after-free in
pci_ecam_map_bus(), which reads cfg->ops->bus_shift.
Trigger: CONFIG_PCIE_APPLE=m; as root, one command: # rmmod apple_pcie

Fix: add .remove = pci_host_common_remove, as pci-host-generic.c does since
commit 01fcb7f777a9 ("PCI: Add support for unbinding the generic PCI host
controller"), so pci_remove_root_bus() unlinks the bus before devres frees
cfg.  Scope: cfg lifetime only; its IRQ handlers stay unreleased, so the
module is still unsafe to unload.
