In the typical case, the pci_read_config_word() done by
pcie_capability_read_word() will not return an error, so if the read
times out, we should see slot_status == ~0.

But if it's possible to set dev->error_state ==
pci_channel_io_perm_failure, pci_read_config_word() will return an
error because pci_dev_is_disconnected(), so slot_status would be 0.

There are a dozen or so places that set dev->error_state.  It doesn't
look *likely* that any of them would cause this, but it doesn't
instill confidence.

It would be a lot nicer if we didn't have to worry about both the 0
and ~0 cases.  I keep coming back to the idea of removing the "*val
= 0" code from pcie_capability_read_word() so we wouldn't have that
special case.

In any case, this particular patch doesn't seem like quite the right
fix, so I'll drop it.
