Ilpo Järvinen 1ee4716a5a PCI: Fix premature removal from realloc_head list during resource assignment
reassign_resources_sorted() checks for two things:

a) Resource assignment failures for mandatory resources by checking if the
   resource remains unassigned, which are known to always repeat, and does
   not attempt to assign them again.

b) That resource is not among the ones being processed/assigned at this
   stage, leading to skip processing such resources in
   reassign_resources_sorted() as well (resource assignment progresses
   one PCI hierarchy level at a time).

The problem here is that a) is checked before b), but b) also implies the
resource is not being assigned yet, making also a) true. As a) only skips
resource assignment but still removes the resource from realloc_head, the
later stages that would need to process the information in realloc_head
cannot obtain the optional size information anymore. This leads to
considering only non-optional part for bridge windows deeper in the PCI
hierarchy.

This problem has been observed during rescan (add_size is not considered
while attempting assignment for 0000:e2:00.0 indicating the corresponding
entry was removed from realloc_head while processing resource assignments
for 0000:e1):
