Taking a reference on the pci_dev structure was required with initial
commit 184cd4a3b962 ("powerpc/powernv: PCI support for p7IOC under
OPAL v2"), where we were storing the pci_dev in the pci_dn structure.
However, the pci_dev was later removed from the pci_dn structure, but
the reference was kept. See commit 902bdc57451c ("powerpc/powernv/idoa:
Remove unnecessary pcidev from pci_dn").
The pnv_ioda_pe structure life cycle is the same as the pci_dev
structure, the PE is freed when the device is released. So we don't
need a reference for the pci_dev stored in the PE, otherwise the
pci_dev will never be released. Which is not really a surprise as the
comment (removed here as no longer needed) was stating as much.
Fixes: 902bdc57451c ("powerpc/powernv/idoa: Remove unnecessary pcidev from
pci_dn")
