In __pci_register_driver(), the pci core overwrites the dev_groups field of
the embedded struct device_driver with the dev_groups from the outer
struct pci_driver unconditionally.

Set dev_groups in the pci_driver to make sure it is used.

This was broken since the introduction of pvpanic-pci.

Greg,

does it make sense to duplicate fields between struct pci_driver and
struct device_driver?
The fields "name", "groups" and "dev_groups" are duplicated.

pci_driver::dev_groups was introduced in
commit ded13b9cfd59 ("PCI: Add support for dev_groups to struct pci_driver")
because "this helps converting PCI drivers sysfs attributes to static"

I don't understand the reasoning. The embedded device_driver shares the
same storage lifetime and the fields have the exact same type.
