Introduce pcim_alloc_irq_vectors(), a device-managed version of
pci_alloc_irq_vectors(). Introducing this function can simplify
the error handling path in many drivers.

And use pci_free_irq_vectors() to replace some code in pcim_release(),
they are equivalent, and no functional change. It is more explicit
that pcim_alloc_irq_vectors() is a device-managed function.

If it is just about having a pcim-* counterpart why not just an inline
function like the one below.

It's a good suggestion, thanks!

Still we need to amend pcim_release() to explicitly show that we call
pci_free_irq_vectors().

Fair enough. Thanks,
