Public bug reported:

[Impact] 
PCIe links behind VMD may not be able to reach ASPM L1.2, because PCIe
Link Tolenrence Reporting doesn't get programmed with a sensible value.

[Fix]
Temporarily hardcode LTR value, which is used by Windows, for NVMe 
devices behind VMD.

[Test]
With the patch applied, PCIe links can reach ASPM L1.2, hence the entire
Intel SoC can reach deeper power saving state.

[Regression Potential]
This patch targets specifically Intel Tigerlake VMD bridges, so there
won't be any regression since they are not on the market yet.
