Revert "PCI: Avoid reset when disabled via sysfs"



This reverts commit 479380ef.

The reset_method attribute on a PCI device is only intended to manage the
availability of function scoped resets for a device.  It was never intended
to restrict resets targeting the bus or slot.

In introducing a restriction that each device must support function level
reset by testing pci_reset_supported(), we essentially create a catch-22,
that a device must have a function scope reset in order to support bus/slot
reset, when we use bus/slot reset to effect a reset of a device that does
not support a function scoped reset, especially multi-function devices.

This breaks the majority of uses cases where vfio-pci uses bus/slot resets
to manage multifunction devices that do not support function scoped resets.
