As far as I can see, we end up with pci_enable_link_state() defined
but never called and pci_enable_link_state_locked() being called only
by pcie-qcom.c and vmd.c.

Can we just rename pci_enable_link_state() to
pci_enable_link_state_locked() and assert that pci_bus_sem is held, so
we don't end up with a function that's never used?

I hope we can obsolete this whole idea someday.  Using pci_walk_bus()
in qcom and vmd to enable ASPM is an ugly hack to work around this
weird idea that "the OS isn't allowed to enable more ASPM states than
the BIOS did because the BIOS might have left ASPM disabled because it
knows about hardware issues."  More history at
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/20230615070421.1704133-1-kai.heng.feng@canonical.com/T/#u

I think we need to get to a point where Linux enables all supported
ASPM features by default.  If we really think x86 BIOS assumes an
implicit contract that the OS will never enable ASPM more
aggressively, we might need some kind of arch quirk for that.

If we can get there, the qcom use of pci_enable_link_state() could go
away, and the vmd use could be replaced by some kind of "if device is
below VMD, get rid of the legacy x86 ASPM assumption" quirk.
