pci_reset_function() acquires device_lock before performing the reset.
pdsc_remove() is called by the PCI core with device_lock already held.
If pdsc_pci_reset_thread() is running when pdsc_remove() is called,
destroy_workqueue() will block waiting for the work to complete, while
the work is blocked waiting for device_lock - deadlock.

Use pci_try_reset_function() which uses pci_dev_trylock() internally.
This acquires both the device lock and the PCI config access lock
without blocking - if either lock is contended, it returns -EAGAIN
immediately. This avoids the deadlock while also ensuring proper
config space access serialization during the reset.

The pci_dev_get/put calls are also removed as they were unnecessary -
the driver-owned workqueue is destroyed in pdsc_remove(), guaranteeing
the work completes before remove returns. The PCI core holds its
reference to pci_dev throughout the entire unbind sequence.
