Let me make a simplified version of the commit message:

On some HPE machines, If kernel clears the bus master bit of a PCI
bridge, but some downstream device of it is still alive, the
downstream device could error out and crash the system.

Usually this never happen, as PCI devices are always shutdown before
their upstream bridge is shutdown. But in kdump kernel, the real
hardware state is out of sync with the data in kernel, as previous
kernel could enable some hardware and kdump kernel is unaware of it,
so kdump kernel just skipped the downstream device shutdown.

This patch is trying to fix this issue.
