In reality we cannot name a function based on everything it does. The naming is
mostly based on what is the primary motive of the API and here it is handling
Link down event. Maybe dw_pcie_ep_handle_linkdown() would be an apt one, but
that's out of scope of this series (since changing that would also require
changes to other similar APIs).
