Nice catch, will fix it for v2. This wasn't noticed because this code is
replaced in a subsequent patch of the series.

Since it's the only place where this failure can occur, I'll leave it as is
on the basis that doing so saves a goto statement. Those should be avoided
where possible. It would have been a different story if the same error
handling code was called from multiple places.

mlx5_dev_spawn_one() can be invoked with IB devices not backed by PCI
(e.g. vdevs), for which the caller may still knowingly ask for VF behavior,
either by user request or through other means.

In this case, the caller happens to be a PCI probing function which, based
on the device ID, easily determines whether VF behavior shall be requested.

This is basically the only place where PCI device ID can be checked. Adding
a macro here would only obfuscate this check. Adding it in
mlx5_dev_spawn_one() would entangle PCI and generic code again, the opposite
of the purpose of this patch, therefore I'll leave it unmodified for v2.
