[PATCH RFC 01/11] PCI: sysfs: Nullify freed pointers

After hotplugging a bridge the PCI topology will be changed: buses may have
their numbers changed. In this case all the affected sysfs entries/symlinks
must be recreated, because they have BDF address in their names.

Set the freed pointers to NULL, so the !NULL checks will be satisfied when
its time to recreate the sysfs entries.
