vfio/pci: Mask buggy SR-IOV VF INTx support
The SR-IOV spec requires that VFs must report zero for the INTx pin register as VFs are precluded from INTx support. It's much easier for the host kernel to understand whether a device is a VF and therefore whether a non-zero pin register value is bogus than it is to do the same in userspace. Override the INTx count for such devices and virtualize the pin register to provide a consistent view of the device to the user. As this is clearly a spec violation, warn about it to support hardware validation, but also provide a known whitelist as it doesn't do much good to continue complaining if the hardware vendor doesn't plan to fix it.
