[PATCH 2/2] ppc/eeh: fix crash on converting OF node to edev

The kernel crash was reported by Alexy. He was testing some feature
with private kernel, in which Alexy added some code in pci_pm_reset()
to read the CSR after writting it. The bug could be reproduced on
Fiber Channel card (Fibre Channel: Emulex Corporation Saturn-X:
LightPulse Fibre Channel Host Adapter (rev 03)) by the following
commands.

	# echo 1 > /sys/devices/pci0004:01/0004:01:00.0/reset
	# rmmod lpfc
	# modprobe lpfc

The history behind the test case is that those additional config
space reading operations in pci_pm_reset() would cause EEH error,
but we didn't detect EEH error until "modprobe lpfc". For the case,
all the PCI devices on PCI bus (0004:01) were removed and added after
PE reset. Then the EEH devices would be figured out again based on
the OF nodes. Unfortunately, there were some child OF nodes under
PCI device (0004:01:00.0), but they didn't have attached PCI_DN since
they're invisible from PCI domain. However, we were still trying to
convert OF node to EEH device without checking on the attached PCI_DN.
Eventually, it caused the kernel crash as follows:

The patch changes of_node_to_eeh_dev() and just returns NULL if the
passed OF node doesn't have attached PCI_DN.
