I suspect the test added by:
commit 6f9a22bc5775d231ab8fbe2c2f3c88e45e3e7c28
Author: Michael Hernandez <michael.hernandez@xxxxxxxxxx>

PCI/MSI: Ignore affinity if pre/post vector count is more than min_vecs
is triggering.
The rest of the failure cases are memory allocation failures which should
not be happening here.
There have only been 5 commits to kernel/irq/affinity.c since v4.10
I suppose we have been getting away with something that has silently
been allowed in the past, or something like that.
Meelis can you run with the following debuggingspatch?
