This introduces a bug.
The assumption was that vp_free_vectors is only set if
msix is successfully enabled, so it's not cleared
by vp_free_vectors.
So there are places like vp_synchronize_vectors
that assume that msix_vectors is only set if msix works
fine.

If you change the assumption, and assign msix_vectors even
if msix can later fail, need too clear it unconditionally.
Like this (untested)
