[PATCH 2/5] powerpc/pci: Don't scan empty slot

In hotplug case, function pcibios_add_pci_devices() is called to
rescan the specified PCI bus, which possibly doesn't have any child
devices. Access to the PCI bus's child device node will cause kernel
crash without exception. The patch adds conditions to skip scanning
the PCI bus, which doesn't have any child devices, to avoid the kernel
crash.
