Update the comment about what happens when link goes down after we have
checked for link-up. If a PIO request is done while link-down, we have
a serious problem.

* If the link goes down after we check for link-up, we have a problem:
* if a PIO request is executed while link-down, the whole controller
* gets stuck in a non-functional state, and even after link comes up
* again, PIO requests won't work anymore, and a reset of the whole PCIe
* controller is needed. Therefore we need to prevent sending PIO
* requests while the link is down.
