PCI/MSI: Return -ENOSPC from pci_alloc_irq_vectors_affinity()
The API of pci_alloc_irq_vectors_affinity() says it returns -ENOSPC if fewer than @min_vecs interrupt vectors are available for @dev. However, if a device supports MSI-X but not MSI and a caller requests @min_vecs that can't be satisfied by MSI-X, we previously returned -EINVAL (from the failed attempt to enable MSI), not -ENOSPC. When -ENOSPC is returned, callers may reduce the number IRQs they request and try again. Most callers can use the @min_vecs and @max_vecs parameters to avoid this retry loop, but that doesn't work when using IRQ affinity "nr_sets" because rebalancing the sets is driver-specific. This return value bug has been present since pci_alloc_irq_vectors() was added in v4.10 by aff17164 ("PCI: Provide sensible IRQ vector alloc/free routines"), but it wasn't an issue because @min_vecs/@max_vecs removed the need for callers to iteratively reduce the number of IRQs requested and retry the allocation, so they didn't need to distinguish -ENOSPC from -EINVAL. In v5.0, 6da4b3ab ("genirq/affinity: Add support for allocating interrupt sets") added IRQ sets to the interface, which reintroduced the need to check for -ENOSPC and possibly reduce the number of IRQs requested and retry the allocation.
