iommu/vt-d: Don't issue ATS Invalidation request when device is disconnected

Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

iommu/vt-d: Don't issue ATS Invalidation request when device is disconnected

For those endpoint devices connect to system via hotplug capable ports,
users could request a hot reset to the device by flapping device's link
through setting the slot's link control register, as pciehp_ist() DLLSC
interrupt sequence response, pciehp will unload the device driver and
then power it off. thus cause an IOMMU device-TLB invalidation (Intel
VT-d spec, or ATS Invalidation in PCIe spec r6.1) request for non-existence
target device to be sent and deadly loop to retry that request after ITE
fault triggered in interrupt context.

That would cause following continuous hard lockup warning and system hang
