pseries/eeh: Fix the kdump kernel crash during eeh_pseries_init

On pseries LPAR when an empty slot is assigned to partition OR in single
LPAR mode, kdump kernel crashes during issuing PHB reset.

In the kdump scenario, we traverse all PHBs and issue reset using the
pe_config_addr of the first child device present under each PHB. However
the code assumes that none of the PHB slots can be empty and uses
list_first_entry() to get the first child device under the PHB. Since
list_first_entry() expects the list to be non-empty, it returns an
invalid pci_dn entry and ends up accessing NULL phb pointer under
pci_dn->phb causing kdump kernel crash.

This patch fixes the below kdump kernel crash by skipping empty slots:
