The aer_inject driver is very quiet. In most cases, it merely returns
an error code to user-space, leaving the user with little clue about
the actual reason for the failure.
So, log error messages for 4 of the most frequent causes of failure:
* Can't find the root port of the specified device.
* Device doesn't support AER.
* Root port doesn't support AER.
* AER device not found.
This gives the user a chance to understand why aer-inject failed.
Based on a preliminary patch by Thomas Renninger.
