[PATCH] drm/i915/gvt: print actionable error message when gm runs out

[Julian Stecklina <julian.stecklina@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When a user tries to allocate too many or too big vGPUs and runs out
of graphics memory, the resulting error message is not actionable and
looks like an internal error.

Change the error message to clearly point out what actions a user can
take to resolve this situation.
