AMD Zen-based systems use a System Management Network (SMN) that
provides access to implementation-specific registers.
SMN accesses are done indirectly through an index/data pair in PCI
config space. The PCI config access may fail and return an error code.
This would prevent the "read" value from being updated, and it would
give an indication to the caller that the read or write operation failed.
However for reads, the PCI config access may succeed, but the return
value may be invalid. This is in similar fashion to PCI bad reads, i.e.
return all bits set.
Most systems will return 0 for SMN addresses that are not accessible.
This is in line with AMD convention that unavailable registers are
Read-as-Zero/Writes-Ignored.
However, some systems will return a "PCI Error Response" instead. This
value, along with an error code of 0 from the PCI config access, will
confuse callers of the amd_smn_read() function.
Check for this condition and set a proper error code for SMN reads.
Furthermore, require error checking for callers of amd_smn_read() and
amd_smn_write(). This is needed because many error conditions cannot
be checked by these functions.
Also, drop the extern keyword as it's not needed. And remove a warning
that will not be trigger in many cases.

+ * SMN accesses may fail in ways that are difficult to detect here in the called
+ * functions smn_read() and smn_write(). Therefore, callers of these functions
+ * must do their own checking based on what behavior they expect.
+ *
+ * For SMN reads, the returned SMN value may be zero if the register is
+ * Read-as-Zero . Or it may be a "PCI Error Response", e.g. all 0xFFs. The "PCI
+ * Error Response" can be checked here, and a proper error code can be returned.
+ * But the Read-as-Zero response cannot be verified here. A value of 0 may be
+ * correct in some cases, so callers must check that this correct is for the
+ * register/fields they need.
+ *
+ * For SMN writes, success can be determined through a "write and read back"
+ * procedure. However, this is not robust when done here.
+ *
+ * Possible issues:
+ * 1) Bits that are "Write-1-to-Clear". In this case, the read value should
+ * *not* match the write value.
+ * 2) Bits that are "Read-as-Zero"/"Writes-Ignored". This information cannot be
+ * known here.
+ * 3) Bits that are "Reserved / Set to 1". Ditto above.
+ *
+ * Callers of amd_smn_write() should do the "write and read back" check themselves,
+ * if needed.
+ *
+ * For #1, they can see if their target bits got cleared.
+ *
+ * For #2 and #3, they can check if their target bits got set as intended.
+ *
+ * This matches what is done for rdmsr/wrmsr. As long as there's no #GP, then
+ * the operation is considered a success, and the caller does their own checking.
