Make sure we grab a reference on the subsystem when a VF is realized. Otherwise, the subsytem will be unrealized automatically when the VFs are unregistered and unreffed.
This fixes a latent bug but was not exposed until commit 08f632848008 ("pcie: Release references of virtual functions"). This was then fixed (or rather, hidden) by commit c613ad25125b ("pcie_sriov: Do not manually unrealize"), but that was then reverted (due to other issues) in commit b0fdaee5d1ed, exposing the bug yet again.
