It hasn't trigger a bug yet. I found this issue during the code reading. When
VFs are enabled and try to remove a bus with VFs, it will face a problem. So I
port the change in commit ac205b7b here.

I have tested after change on Power8, the EEH hotplug path works fine for PFs
now. Will test this when EEH for VFs are ready.
Suggest me to keep it untill EEH for VFs are ready?
