Since you are changing the behavior of the msix_capability_init
function on populate_msi_sysfs error, a comment describing why in this
commit would be nice.

[...]

This function was already treating that error as fatal, and freeing the
MSIs.  The change in behaviour is that it now returns the error code in
this case, rather than 0.  This is obviously correct and properly
described by the one-line summary.

If someone dumb, like me, is looking at this commit and trying to
figure out what is happening, having ANY commit message is good.  "Fix
the return value" doesn't tell me anything.  Documenting what issue(s)
would've been seen had the error case been encountered and what will
now been seen would be very nice.
