Message-ID <[email protected]>
cxl_pmu_probe() rejects the PMU when info->msi_vec <= 0, but that field
holds the MSI/MSI-X message number the device signals overflow on. The
field is 0-based, and -1 means no interrupt support. Message number 0 is
valid and pci_irq_vector() takes a 0-based index, so a compliant device
signalling on the first vector fails to probe.

Reject only the no-interrupt case, matching how the CXL mailbox and event
interrupts handle it.

v3:
- Rebase on the preceding patch, so this tests info->msi_vec rather than
  info->irq. The fix is unchanged and the hunk is still one line.
- Not guarding against pci_irq_vector()'s INTx fallback for vector 0, which
  it returns when neither MSI nor MSI-X is enabled. A v3 draft added a
  pci_dev_msi_enabled() check for that, but a modern CXL device wiring up
  INTx is not a realistic prospect, and the consequence otherwise is a PMU
  that counts nothing rather than anything unsafe. Left alone to keep this
  a one-liner.
