PCI: Warn on driver probe return value greater than zero
Ages ago, drivers could return values greater than zero from their probe
function and this would be regarded as success.
But after f3ec4f87d607 ("PCI: change device runtime PM settings for probe
and remove") and 967577b06241 ("PCI/PM: Keep runtime PM enabled for unbound
PCI devices"), we set dev->driver to NULL if the driver's probe function
returns a value greater than zero.
__pci_device_probe() treats this as success, and drivers can still mostly
work even with dev->driver == NULL, but PCI power management doesn't work,
and we don't call the driver's remove function on rmmod.
To help catch these driver problems, issue a warning in this case.
