The code is inconsistent in whether hpdev->pci_slot is set to NULL after calling
pci_destory_slot().  Patch 2 in this series does set it to NULL, but this code does not.
And the code in hv_eject_device_work() does not set it to NULL.

It looks like all the places that test the value of hpdev->pci_slot or call
pci_destroy_slot() are serialized, so it looks like it really doesn't matter.  But when
the code is inconsistent about setting to NULL, it always makes me wonder if there
is a reason.
