[PATCH RESEND v2] PCI: Add device even if driver attach failed

[PATCH RESEND v2] PCI: Add device even if driver attach failed

[Rajat Jain]

device_attach() returning failure indicates a driver error while trying to
probe the device. In such a scenario, the PCI device should still be added
in the system and be visible to the user.

This patch partially reverts:

This is not the correct way to submit patches for inclusion in the
stable kernel tree.  Please read:
    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html
for how to do this properly.
