powerpc/eeh: Fix crash caused by null eeh_dev
The problem was reported by Anton Blanchard. While EEH error happened to the PCI device without the corresponding device driver, kernel crash was seen. Eventually, I successfully reproduced the problem on Firebird-L machine with utility "errinjct". Initially, the device driver for Emulex ethernet MAC has been disabled from .config and force data parity on the Emulex ethernet MAC with help of "errinjct". Eventually, I saw the kernel crash after issueing couple of "lspci -v" command. The root cause behind is that the PCI device, including the reference to the corresponding eeh device, will be removed from the system while EEH does recovery. Afterwards, the PCI device will be probed again and added into the system accordingly. So it's not safe to retrieve the eeh device from the corresponding PCI device after the PCI device has been removed and not added again. The patch fixes the issue and retrieve the eeh device from OF node instead of PCI device after the PCI device has been removed.
