Revert "PCI: create function symlinks in /sys/bus/pci/slots/N/"

This reverts commit 75568f8094.

Since they're just a convenience anyway, remove these symlinks since
they're causing duplicate filename errors in the wild.

The symbolic link points to the PCI device sysfs entry of the

Description:
When the appropriate driver is loaded, it will create a
directory per claimed physical PCI slot in
/sys/bus/pci/slots/. The names of these directories are
specific to the driver, which in turn, are specific to the
platform, but in general, should match the label on the
machine's physical chassis.
The drivers that can create slot directories include the
PCI hotplug drivers, and as of 2.6.27, the pci_slot driver.
The slot directories contain, at a minimum, a file named
'address' which contains the PCI bus:device:function tuple.
Other files may appear as well, but are specific to the
driver.

symbolic links in the slot directory pointing to the
