Subject: [PATCH 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.
