Yeah, this whole code is quite strange... if there is remove_id file in
the driver's directory, then the device's ID has already been written
there as part of attaching a device to a stub driver at the time the
device was detached from host system (see virPCIDeviceBindToStub). So
this code is just checking if detach could have done that and if so,
triggers driver probe. Note that when we get this, the device is already
unbound from stub. No idea why it is done this way but I'd rather
keep it as is at least in this series.
