[PATCH 1/4] PCI/sysfs: Stop reporting _DSM failures as -EPERM

Currently, dsm_get_label() returns the literal -1 on every failure
path.  The sysfs read path passes that value to userspace as
-EPERM.  Reading the "label" or "acpi_index" attribute on a platform
where the Device Name _DSM returns a malformed result then fails
with:

  $ cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:08.3/label
  cat: /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:08.3/label: Operation not permitted

Nothing in that path performs a permission check, and the read
fails the same way for a privileged reader.  The error code points
at a cause that does not exist, and tools such as lspci report it
on every invocation.

Thus, return -ENODEV when the device has no ACPI companion, and
-EIO when the _DSM evaluation fails or returns an object that
cannot be parsed.  Other _DSM users in the tree report such
failures the same way.

The set of reads that succeed, and the bytes they return, stay
the same.  Only the error code of reads that already fail differs.
