Current acpi_pci_get_bridge_handle() has an assumption that
pci_bus->self is NULL on the root pci bus. But it might not true on
some platforms. Because of this wrong assumption, current
acpi_pci_get_bridge_handle() might return improper ACPI handle. We
must check pci_bus->parent instead.
This bug is the root cause of the following kernel panic reported by
James Bottomley. This problem was introduced by the commit e8c331e963c58b83db24b7d0e39e8c07f687dbc6. The immediate cause was
acpi_pci_get_bridge_handle() returned NULL unexpectedly and it was
passed as the second argument of acpi_walk_namespace().
