Subject: [PATCH] eisa: do not force probe if cannot allocate resource on
 mainboard

if the eisa_probe() function fails to allocate resource for the
mainboard in question, it performs a force probe over the available
slots and print all fails in the logs. e.g:

[    1.264550] EISA: Cannot allocate resource for mainboard
[    1.264552] Cannot allocate resource for EISA slot 1
[    1.264554] Cannot allocate resource for EISA slot 2
[    1.264556] Cannot allocate resource for EISA slot 3
[    1.264557] Cannot allocate resource for EISA slot 4
[    1.264559] Cannot allocate resource for EISA slot 5
[    1.264561] Cannot allocate resource for EISA slot 6
[    1.264563] Cannot allocate resource for EISA slot 7
[    1.264564] Cannot allocate resource for EISA slot 8
[    1.264566] EISA: Detected 0 cards.

The force probe for this specific condition always fails. The
patch make it to skip the force probe and print a more detailed ending
message to the log adding the number available slots:

[    1.264550] EISA: Cannot allocate resource for mainboard
[    1.264566] EISA: Detected 0 cards in 8 slots.
