Thomas Gleixner bf5e758f02 genirq/msi: Simplify sysfs handling
The sysfs handling for MSI is a convoluted maze and it is in the way of
supporting dynamic expansion of the MSI-X vectors because it only supports
a one off bulk population/free of the sysfs entries.

Change it to do:

   1) Creating an empty sysfs attribute group when msi_device_data is
      allocated

   2) Populate the entries when the MSI descriptor is initialized

   3) Free the entries when a MSI descriptor is detached from a Linux
      interrupt.

   4) Provide functions for the legacy non-irqdomain fallback code to
      do a bulk population/free. This code won't support dynamic
      expansion.

This makes the code simpler and reduces the number of allocations as the
empty attribute group can be shared.
