[PATCH] Revert "tpci: unbind driver in test_assign_resources()"

While the patch fixes a use-after-free in /proc/iomem by unbinding and
rebinding the driver around PCI resource reassignment, this approach is
too dangerous for a general test. Unbinding a driver from a critical device
(e.g. a network or block controller) can instantly break SSH connectivity or
cause filesystem corruption. Such side effects are unacceptable compared to the original issue.
So need to revert that patch.
