PCI/MSI: Add pci_enable_msi_exact() and pci_enable_msix_exact()

The new functions are special cases for pci_enable_msi_range() and
pci_enable_msix_range() when a particular number of MSI or MSI-X
is needed.

By contrast with pci_enable_msi_range() and pci_enable_msix_range()
functions, pci_enable_msi_exact() and pci_enable_msix_exact()
return zero in case of success, which indicates MSI or MSI-X
interrupts have been successfully allocated.
