Message-ID <[email protected]>
cxl_pmu_probe() rejects the PMU when info->irq <= 0, but at that point the
field still holds the MSI/MSI-X message number the device signals overflow
on, not a Linux virq. That number 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.

v4:
- Move ahead of the info->msi_vec rename so this one-liner stands alone for
  backporting (Robin).
