[1/1] PCI/ASPM: Remove pcie_aspm_enabled() unnecessary locking

From: Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@google.com>

The lifetime of the link_state structure (bridge->link_state) is not the
same as the lifetime of "bridge" itself.  The link_state is allocated by
pcie_aspm_init_link_state() after children of the bridge have been
enumerated, and it is deallocated by pcie_aspm_exit_link_state() after all
children of the bridge (but not the bridge itself) have been removed.

Previously pcie_aspm_enabled() acquired aspm_lock to ensure that
link_state was not deallocated while we're looking at it.  But the fact
that the caller of pcie_aspm_enabled() holds a reference to @pdev means
there's always at least one child of the bridge, which means link_state
can't be deallocated.

Remove the unnecessary locking in pcie_aspm_enabled().

Can we unobsfucated this while we're at it?

	if (!bridge->link_state)
		return false;
	return bridge->link_state->aspm_enabled;

Yep, after some of the follow-up patches from Heiner, it looks like
this:

  bool pcie_aspm_enabled(struct pci_dev *pdev)
  {
	  struct pcie_link_state *link = pcie_aspm_get_link(pdev);

	  if (!link)
		  return false;

	  return link->aspm_enabled;
  }
