[Nouveau] [RFC PATCH] pci: prevent putting pcie devices into lower device states on certain intel bridges

Fixes runpm breakage mainly on Nvidia GPUs as they are not able to resume.

Works perfectly with this workaround applied.

RFC comment:
We are quite sure that there is a higher amount of bridges affected by this,
but I was only testing it on my own machine for now.

I've stresstested runpm by doing 5000 runpm cycles with that patch applied
and never saw it fail.

I mainly wanted to get a discussion going on if that's a feasable workaround
indeed or if we need something better.

I am also sure, that the nouveau driver itself isn't at fault as I am able
to reproduce the same issue by poking into some PCI registers on the PCIe
bridge to put the GPU into D3cold as it's done in ACPI code.

I've written a little python script to reproduce this issue without the need
of loading nouveau:
