Subject: [PATCH] vmw_vmci: Fix irq allocation

From: Petr Vandrovec <petr@...are.com>

Change 3bb434 (vmw_vmci: switch to pci_irq_alloc_vectors) converted
vmw_vmci to use pci_irq_alloc_vectors.  Unfortunately for the code
pci_irq_alloc_vectors returns number of allocated vectors on success,
rather than zero.  So successful allocation was always treated as
an error, causing slew of warning messages, and then error that
device probe method returned unexpected value 2.

Checking that error is < 0 fixes problem.

While I was there, I've simplified allocation to do just one
pci_irq_alloc_vectors call: VMCI device currently supports only
two MSI-X vectors, so we either get two dedicated vectors, or
one shared vector.  Nothing else can happen.  So we can ask
for minimum=1, maximum=2, MSI-X | MSI | Legacy, and get back
best possible choice.
