PCI: Fix Oops caused by uninitialized slot->list in pci_slot_release()
Once kobject_init_and_add() failed, pci_slot_release() is called to delete slot->list from parent->slots. But slot->list is intialized afterwards, so we ran into the following crash: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000 ...
