Use pci_get_domain_bus_and_slot() with a domain number of 0 where we can't
extract the domain number. Other places, use the actual domain number from
the device.

Now that all users of pci_get_bus_and_slot() switched to
pci_get_domain_bus_and_slot(), it is now safe to remove this function.
This doesn't really eliminate pci_get_bus_and_slot(), because it doesn't force developers to support non-zero domains.? What's to stop a driver developer from doing this?

#define pci_get_bus_and_slot(b, d) pci_get_domain_bus_and_slot(0, b, d)

thereby completely ignoring what you're trying to do?
Surely, the goal is not to eliminate all domain 0 users/assumptions but open the
path for flexibility over time. 

There are patches in this series where I hard-coded a value of 0 because domain
information was not available.

For places where domain number information is available, I extracted domain number
and added into pci_get_domain_bus_and_slot() call such as xen or bn drivers.

This will allow these drivers to be used with non-zero segment numbers. These
issues were missed until this refactoring took place.

pci_get_domain_bus_and_slot() function makes the developer think about where to
find the domain number as it is mandatory. 

I also double checked that all current users of pci_get_domain_bus_and_slot()
are actually extracting the domain number correctly along with the bus, device,
function.

The assumption at this point is for pci_get_bus_and_slot() usages to be caught
in code-review.

This is a best-effort approach towards flexibility.
