If the user says:

echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../remove

And that device is a bridge, then we need to specifically call
pci_remove_bus as well, to actually remove the bus itself.
Without it, pci_bus_remove_device() will remove all of its
children (and subordinate buses) in a depth-first manner, but we
will never actually remove the bus that the user specified.

In other words, without it, we will still see the bus in:

/sys/class/pci_bus/...

We only want to remove the bus if it has no children left. I
think the check for list_empty(&pdev->bus->devices) might be
overkill... I can try taking that bit out and testing again.

Thanks for the review.
