Using the return value to report errors is error prone:
- xics_alloc() returns -1 on error but spapr_vio_busdev_realize() errors
on 0
- xics_alloc_block() returns the unclear value of ics->offset - 1 on error
but both rtas_ibm_change_msi() and spapr_phb_realize() error on 0
This patch adds an errp argument to xics_alloc() and xics_alloc_block() to
report errors. The return value of these functions is a valid IRQ number
if errp is NULL. It is undefined otherwise.
The corresponding error traces get promotted to error messages. Note that
the "can't allocate IRQ" error message in spapr_vio_busdev_realize() also
moves to xics_alloc(). Similar error message consolidation isn't really
applicable to xics_alloc_block() because callers have extra context (device
config address, MSI or MSIX).
This fixes the issues mentioned above.
