Currently, only AER and DPC driver uses pcie_do_recovery() call. So the
possible reset_link options are dpc_reset_link() and aer_root_reset().

In dpc_reset_link() case, the link is already disabled and hence we
don't need to do another reset. In case of aer_root_reset() it
uses pci_bus_error_reset() to reset the slot.
