[PATCH v3] Fix a gap where acpi_pcihp_find_hotplug_bus() returns a non-hotpluggable bus

[Ani Sinha]

When ACPI hotplug for the root bus is disabled, the bsel property for that
bus is not set. Please see the following commit:

3d7e78aa7777f ("Introduce a new flag for i440fx to disable PCI hotplug on the root bus").

As a result, when acpi_pcihp_find_hotplug_bus() is called
with bsel set to 0, it may return the root bus. This can cause devices attached to
the root bus to get hot-unplugged if the user issues the following set of commands:

outl 0xae10 0
outl 0xae08 your_slot

Thanks to Julia for pointing this out here:

In this patch, we fix the issue in this function by checking if the bus which is
returned by the function is actually hotpluggable. If not, we simply return NULL.
This avoids the scenario where we were returning a non-hotpluggable bus.

This patch is based off of tag v5.10

Changelog:
v3: fix a bug where we were dereferencing null pointer when find.bus was null.
v2: update commit log to include more details.
