Yes. I think we should reset the link only if the io is blocked as before. There's
no reason to reset a normal link.

Furthermore, PCI_ERS_RESULT_NEED_RESET means device driver requires a slot reset rather
than a link reset, so it maybe improper to use it to judge whether a link reset is needed.
We decide whether to do a link reset only by the io state.
