[PATCH] genirq: msi: simplify the msi irq limit policy

Currently we attempt to predict how many irqs we will be able to allocate with
msi using pci_vector_resources and some complicated accounting, and then we
only allow each device as many irqs as we think are available on average.

Only the s2io driver even takes advantage of this feature all other drivers
have a fixed number of irqs they need and bail if they can't get them.

pci_vector_resources is inaccurate if anyone ever frees an irq.  The whole
implmentation is racy.  The current irq limit policy does not appear to make
sense with current drivers.  So I have simplified things.  We can revisit this
we we need a more sophisticated policy.
