Throw a warning if it fails to set the mask to 32-bit to alert that
devices that are only 32-bit MSI capable may not work properly.

This is slightly wacky, but no more so than the rest of the not-DMA shenanigans here... Ultimately it probably is the least-worst way to avoid the issue, so in terms of functionality,

Given the other patch that I've pushed to the MSI sub-system
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linux-pci/patch/20201117145728.4516-1-vidyas@xxxxxxxxxx/
which is going to catch any mismatch between MSI capability (32-bit) of the
device and system's inability to allocate the required MSI target address,
I'm not sure how much sense is this patch going to be make. But, I can
certainly say that if the memory allocation mechanism gives the addresses
from 64-bit pool by default, this patch at least makes sure that MSI target
address is allocated from 32-bit pool.

Note that this doesn't change where anything is allocated as such, it just means that on systems with most of their RAM above 4GB, those few bytes of private data that you map "for free" will be copied into the SWIOTLB buffer and hog 2KB of its typical 64MB capacity effectively for ever.

Ironically, the only real reason for that dma_set_mask() to ever fail is if the system had no 32-bit addressable memory, in which case you could likely pick any 32-bit doorbell address with impunity, just not via this mechanism (although whether it would be worthwhile is another matter).
