[PATCH] powerpc/eeh: Permanently disable the removed device

When a device is hot removed on powernv, the hotplug
driver clears the device's state. However, on pseries,
if a device is removed by phyp after reaching the error
threshold, the kernel remains unaware, leading to the
device not being torn down. This prevents necessary
remediation actions like failover.

Permanently disable the device if the presence check
fails.
