When BIOS does not assign resource for sriov bar, kernel pci reallocation
ony go up to one bridge and then failed to get resource to all sriov bar.
even We have big enough range in peer root bus for allocation.
Specifically, only bridge a1:02.0 level get cleared, and reallocated. kernel does not
go up to clear bridge 80:02.0 level.
To make it go upper levels, during retring, We need to treat good to have
as must have.
Only last try will treat good to have as optional, at that time, parent
bridges resource already released so it will have chance to get assigned
with must_have plus good_to_have for all children devices.
