A traditional approach for a function is first to make sanity check and
then allocate resources. I do not see a reason to keep these two steps
in separate functions: arch_msi_check_device() and arch_setup_msi_irq().

Just make checks within arch_setup_msi_irq() and bail out early would be as
cheap as it is now, but more natural and would deflate the interface.

Moreover, some platforms duplicate checks in arch_msi_check_device() and
arch_setup_msi_irq(), which does not add to readability.
