PCI/MSI: Warn and return error if driver enables MSI/MSI-X twice



It is a serious driver defect to enable MSI or MSI-X more than once.  Doing
so may panic the kernel as in the stack trace below:

  Call Trace:
    sysfs_add_one+0xa5/0xd0
    create_dir+0x7c/0xe0
    sysfs_create_subdir+0x1c/0x20

    [...]
    do_sys_open+0xf3/0x1f0
    SyS_open+0x1e/0x20

    ---[ end trace 11042e2848880209 ]---
    Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: ffffffffa056b4fa

We want to keep the WARN_ON() and stack trace so the driver can be fixed,
but we can avoid the kernel panic by returning an error.  We may still get
warnings like this:

  Call Trace:
    pci_enable_msix+0x3c9/0x3e0
    igbuio_pci_open+0x72/0x300 [igb_uio]
