PCI/AER: Remove unused .link_reset() callback
No hardware seems to actually call .link_reset(), and no driver implements it as more than a nop stub. Drop mentions of the callback from everywhere. It's dropped from the documentation as well, but the doc really needs to be updated to reflect reality better (e.g., on PCIe, slot reset is the link reset). This will be done in a later patch.
