[RFC,v2,06/29] PCI/MSI: Get rid of useless count of msi_desc leftovers

If an architecture failed to allocate requested number of
MSI-Xs we should not mislead device drivers and make them
retry based on how many MSI-Xs were possibly allocated by
the architecture in the process, before the failure. It is
rude for an architecture to leave any leftovers anyway.

Hmmm... so, before this, the function would have returned the partial
number of irqs that arch set up successfully.  Is it okay to lose that
information?  If so, can you please elaborate a bit more on why it's
okay in the description?

Thanks.

Well, this is embarrassing. A quick check into x86 shows the partially
initialized MSI-Xs are possible - something I should have noticed.

Self-Nack.
