With CONFIG_PCI_DYNAMIC_OF_NODES [1], a hot-plug and hot-unplug sequence
of a PCI device attached to a PCI-bridge causes following kernel Oops on
a pseries KVM guest:

 RTAS: event: 2, Type: Hotplug Event (229), Severity: 1
 Kernel attempted to read user page (10ec00000048) - exploit attempt? (uid: 0)

<snip>

A git bisect pointed this regression to be introduced via [1] that added
a mechanism to create device tree nodes for parent PCI bridges when a
PCI device is hot-plugged.

The Oops is caused when `pci_stop_dev()` tries to remove a non-existing
device-tree node associated with the pci_dev that was earlier
hot-plugged and was attached under a pci-bridge. The PCI dev header
`dev->hdr_type` being 0, results a conditional check done with
`pci_is_bridge()` into false. Consequently, a call to
`of_pci_make_dev_node()` to create a device node is never made. When at
a later point in time, in the device node removal path, a memcpy is
attempted in `__of_changeset_entry_invert()`; since the device node was
never created, results in an Oops due to kernel read access to a bad
address.

To fix this issue, the patch introduces a new flag OF_CREATE_WITH_CSET
to keep track of device nodes created via `of_pci_make_dev_node()` and
later attempt to destroy only such device nodes which have this flag
set.
