While using the new_id interface, the user can unintentionally feed
incorrect values if the driver static table has a matching entry.
This is possible since only the device and vendor fields are
mandatory and the rest are optional. As a result, store_new_id
will fill in default values that are then passed on to the driver
and can have unintended consequences.
As an example, consider the ixgbe driver and the 82599EB network card :
echo "8086 10fb" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ixgbe/new_id
This will pass a driver_data value of 0 to the driver whereas
the index 0 in ixgbe actually points to a different set of card
operations.
This change returns an error if the user attempts to add a dynid for
a vendor/device combination for which a static entry already exists.
However, if the user intentionally wants a different set of values,
she must provide all the 7 fields and that will be accepted.
In KVM/device assignment scenario, the user might want
to bind a device back to the host driver by writing to new_id
and trip on a possible null pointer dereference.

v3:
relocate pdev decl
v2:
1. Return error if there is a matching static entry
and change commit message to reflect this behavior
3. Fill in a pdev and call pci_match_id instead of creating
a new matching function
4. Change commit message to reflect that libvirt does not
depend on this behavior
