This reverts commitd6af2ed29c. The statement "the hv_pci_bus_exit() call releases structures of all its child devices" in commitd6af2ed29cis not true: in the path hv_pci_probe() -> hv_pci_enter_d0() -> hv_pci_bus_exit(hdev, true): the parameter "keep_devs" is true, so hv_pci_bus_exit() does *not* release the child "struct hv_pci_dev *hpdev" that is created earlier in pci_devices_present_work() -> new_pcichild_device(). The commitd6af2ed29cwas originally made in July 2020 for RHEL 7.7, where the old version of hv_pci_bus_exit() was used; when the commit was rebased and merged into the upstream, people didn't notice that it's not really necessary. The commit itself doesn't cause any issue, but it makes hv_pci_probe() more complicated. Revert it to facilitate some upcoming changes to hv_pci_probe().

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.
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.
