Fix crash after rmmod radeon on PX systems.

Calling rmmod radeon on PX system cause kernel crash. Reason is function
vga_switcheroo_init_domain_pm_ops() which setting dev->pm_domain function of
PCI device. When radeon module is unloaded pointer dev->pm_domain is set to
vga_switcheroo function which try to call radeon function (which does not
exists in memory after rmmod radeon). I bet that nouveau has same problem.

I'm attaching simple patch which set dev->pm_domain of PCI device back to NULL
when removing radeon device so vga_switcheroo will not be called.

But I think that proper way for fixing this bug - which is in vga_switcheroo -
should be to add function like "vga_switcheroo_exit_domain_pm_ops()" which will
set pm_domain back to origin value (which is in my case NULL).

With my patch on PX system I can call rmmod radeon, modprobe radeon, rmmod
radeon, ... many times without no crash.
