rpci: Use pci_dev struct pointer to avoid API breaks
The pci_dev structure is never meant to be used as is, but always as a
pointer. By using the struct itself in undo_pci_write_data, we are risking
data corruption, or buffer overflows if the structure size changes.
This is especially apparent on my system where flashrom segfaults
because I compile it with pciutils 3.3.0 and I run it on a system
with pciutils 3.5.2. The struture size is different and causes a
struct with the wrong size to be sent to the library, with invalid
internal field values.
