Revert "PCI: create function symlinks in /sys/bus/pci/slots/N/"
This reverts commit 75568f8094eb0333e9c2109b23cbc8b82d318a3c. Since they're just a convenience anyway, remove these symlinks since they're causing duplicate filename errors in the wild. Acked-by: Alex Chiang <achiang@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Jesse Barnes <jbarnes@virtuousgeek.org>

141Description:
142 When the appropriate driver is loaded, it will create a
143 directory per claimed physical PCI slot in
144 /sys/bus/pci/slots/. The names of these directories are
145 specific to the driver, which in turn, are specific to the
146 platform, but in general, should match the label on the
147 machine's physical chassis.
148
149 The drivers that can create slot directories include the
150 PCI hotplug drivers, and as of 2.6.27, the pci_slot driver.
151
152 The slot directories contain, at a minimum, a file named
153 'address' which contains the PCI bus:device:function tuple.
154 Other files may appear as well, but are specific to the
155 driver.

162 If PCI slot directories (as described above) are created,
163 and the physical slot is actually populated with a device,
164 symbolic links in the slot directory pointing to the
165 device's PCI functions are created as well.
