Subject: [PATCH] PCI: Fix oops in pci_vpd_truncate

pci_vpd_truncate() should check for dev->vpd->attr, otherwise
this might happen:

sky2 driver version 1.22
Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x0000000c
Faulting instruction address: 0xc01836fc

[ef82bfd0] [c0362240] do_initcalls+0x38/0x58

This happens with CONFIG_SKY2=y, and "ip=on" kernel command line, so
pci_vpd_truncate() is called before late_initcall(pci_sysfs_init),
therefore ->attr isn't yet initialized.

If you are doing this you will never get sky2 vpd pci access,
but that is not a big loss. I worry that other thing could break if
devices are getting initialized before sysfs. Drivers that create sysfs
entries (like the 10G drivers) could also break?

But this is okay as a provisional step, the sysfs startup order
needs to be fixed.

Applied this to my for-linus branch, thanks Anton.
