PCI: Fix wrong reference counter check for proc_dir_entry
Fix wrong counter check for proc_dir_entry in pci_proc_detach_device().
The pci_proc_detach_device() returns with -EBUSY before calling
remove_proc_entry() if the reference counter of proc_dir_entry is not
0. But this check is wrong and pci_proc_detach_device() always fails
because the reference counter of proc_dir_entry is initialized with 1
at creating time and decremented in remove_proc_entry(). This bug
cause strange behaviour as followings:
- Accessing /proc/bus/pci/XXXX/YY file after hot-removing pci adapter
card causes kernel panic.
- Repeating hot-add/hot-remove of pci adapter card increases files
with the same name under /proc/bus/pci/XXXX/ directory. For example:
# pwd
/proc/bus/pci/0002:09
# ls
01.0
# for i in `seq 5`
> do
> echo 0 > /sys/bus/pci/slots/0009_0032/power
> echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/slots/0009_0032/power
> done
# ls
01.0 01.0 01.0 01.0 01.0 01.0
The pci_proc_detach_device() should check if the reference counter is
not larger than 1 instead.
