PCI core/ASPM service driver allows controlling ASPM state through
pci_disable_link_state() and pci_enable_link_state() API. It was
decided earlier (see the Link below), to not allow ASPM changes when OS
does not have control over it but only log a warning about the problem
(commit 2add0ec14c25 ("PCI/ASPM: Warn when driver asks to disable ASPM,
but we can't do it")). Similarly, if ASPM is not enabled through
config, ASPM cannot be disabled.
A number of drivers have added workarounds to force ASPM off with own
writes into the Link Control Register (some even with comments
explaining why PCI core does not disable it under some circumstances).
According to the comments, some drivers require ASPM to be off for
reliable operation.
Having custom ASPM handling in drivers is problematic because the state
kept in the ASPM service driver is not updated by the changes made
outside the link state management API.
As the first step to address this issue, make pci_disable_link_state()
to unconditionally disable ASPM so the motivation for drivers to come
up with custom ASPM handling code is eliminated.
Place the minimal ASPM disable handling into own file as it is too
complicated to fit into a header as static inline and it has almost no
overlap with the existing, more complicated ASPM code in
drivers/pci/pce/aspm.c.
Make pci_disable_link_state() function comment to comply kerneldoc
formatting while changing the description.

A few open questions:
- If somebody has better suggestion for where to place the code, please
let me know?
- When OS does not have control, should all states be disabled (instead
of the ones the driver requested)?
