Matt Chen 2b3fae668c iwlwifi: pcie: avoid unnecessary work if NIC is disconnected
When the NIC is disconnected from PCI bus, we are not
able to access it anymore. Check the status to avoid
some unnecessary work so can improve the performance.
It will help to make PCI bus rescan to bring back the
device much faster.

The real test is able to improve 7 seconds.

[w/o patch] It takes around 9 seconds

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
