PCI: Whitelist native hotplug ports for runtime D3

Previously we blacklisted PCIe hotplug ports for runtime D3 because:

(a) Ports handled by the firmware must not be transitioned to D3 by the
    OS behind the firmware's back:
    https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53811

(b) Ports handled natively by the OS lacked runtime D3 support in the
    pciehp driver.

We've just rectified the latter, so allow users to manually enable and
test it by passing pcie_port_pm=force on the command line.  Vendors are
thus put in a position to validate hotplug ports for runtime D3 and
perhaps we can someday enable it by default, but with a BIOS cutoff date.

Ashok Raj tested runtime D3 on hotplug ports of a SkyLake Xeon-SP in
2017 and encountered Hardware Error NMIs, so this feature clearly cannot
be enabled for everyone yet:
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170503180426.GA4058@otc-nc-03

While at it, remove an erroneous code comment I added with 97a90aee5dab
("PCI: Consolidate conditions to allow runtime PM on PCIe ports") which
claims that parents of a hotplug port must stay awake lest interrupts
cannot be delivered.  That has turned out to be wrong at least for
Thunderbolt hotplug ports.
