Either you move the mask/unmask code to local irq_mask/irq_unmask
methods (and call pci_msi_(un)mask_irq from there), or you move it
entierely to alloc/free.

Some level of symmetry helps following what is going on in the code.

The more logical to write this is:

	if (bit >= msi->num_of_vectors)
		return -ENOSPC;

	set_bit(bit, msi->used);

which gets rid of the error case early and streamlines the normal case.
