PCI: add remove_id sysfs entry

Browse Source 
This adds a remove_id sysfs entry to allow users of new_id to later
remove the added dynid.  One use case is management tools that want to
dynamically bind/unbind devices to pci-stub driver while devices are
assigned to KVM guests.  Rather than having to track which driver was
originally bound to the driver, a mangement tool can simply:

Guest uses device

Description:
Writing a device ID to this file will remove an ID
that was dynamically added via the new_id sysfs entry.
The format for the device ID is:
VVVV DDDD SVVV SDDD CCCC MMMM. That is Vendor ID, Device
ID, Subsystem Vendor ID, Subsystem Device ID, Class,
and Class Mask. The Vendor ID and Device ID fields are
required, the rest are optional. After successfully
removing an ID, the driver will no longer support the
device. This is useful to ensure auto probing won't
match the driver to the device. For example:
# echo "8086 10f5" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/foo/remove_id
What: /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../vpd
