Disable the PCI device during shutdown to prevent any races with
other PCI code such as the AER handling code.

Hi Saurav,

Just curious if there were any bug report instances to go along with
this patch?  (Or a short explanation of the race.)

Joe,

The race here was during reboot after taking a crash dump. We hit an AER condition so the driver's AER handler is called after we've already shutdown the adapter which causes us to try to free some already freed structs. To prevent this we disable the PCI function from the shutdown handler.

Thanks,
