I don't think that's a good idea because it introduces a config space read
(for the vendor ID) in places where we don't want that.  E.g., after the
check of pdev->error_state, a regular config space read may take place and
if that returns all ones, we may already be able to determine that the
device is inaccessible, obviating the need for a vendor ID check.
Config space reads aren't for free.

Thanks,
