The pfn_array_alloc_pin routine is doing too much.  Today, it does the
alloc of the pfn_array struct and its member arrays, builds the iova
address lists out of a contiguous piece of guest memory, and asks vfio
to pin the resulting pages.

Let's effectively revert a significant portion of commit 5c1cfb1c3948
("vfio: ccw: refactor and improve pfn_array_alloc_pin()") such that we
break pfn_array_alloc_pin() into its component pieces, and have one
routine that allocates/populates the pfn_array structs, and another
that actually pins the memory.  In the future, we will be able to
handle scenarios where pinning memory isn't actually appropriate.

I don't really like the 'returns -errno' :) It's actually the return
code of vfio_pin_pages(), and that might include -EINVAL as well.

So, what about mentioning in the function description that
pfn_array_pin() only succeeds if it coult pin all pages, and simply
stating that it returns a negative error value on failure?

Seems reasonable to me...  Something like:

 * Returns number of pages pinned upon success.
 * If the pin request partially succeeds, or fails completely,
 * all pages are left unpinned and a negative error value is returned.
