[PATCH v4] PCI: hv: Make sure the bus domain is really unique

When Linux runs as a guest VM in Hyper-V and Hyper-V adds the virtual
PCI bus to the guest, Hyper-V always provides unique PCI domain.

commit 4a9b0933bdfc ("PCI: hv: Use device serial number as PCI domain")
overrode unique domain with the serial number of the first device added
to the virtual PCI bus. The reason for that patch is to have a consistent
and short name for the device. But commit 4a9b0933bdfc ("PCI: hv: Use
device serial number as PCI domain") will not guarantee unique domain id.
For example, if the serial number of the device is 0 and there exists a
PCI bus with domain 0 already, this will cause the PCI bus registration
with kernel fails.

commit 4a9b0933bdfc ("PCI: hv: Use device serial number as PCI
domain") need to be reverted. Also, we no longer need it, as commit
4a1626dd233e ("netvsc: transparent VF management") remove the
need for it.

Revert commit 4a9b0933bdfc ("PCI: hv: Use device serial number as PCI
domain") so we can reliably support multiple devices being assigned to
a guest.

This revert should only be backported to kernels that contain commit
4a1626dd233e ("netvsc: transparent VF management").
