This series enables multi-MSI (nr_irqs > 1) allocation on the Layerscape
SCFG MSI controller so PCI endpoints that request contiguous MSI vector
blocks (for example ath12k, which asks for 16 vectors: 3 MHI + 5 CE + 8 DP)
no longer fall back to single-MSI operation with all interrupts multiplexed
onto one CPU.

The first patch is a preparation refactor: switch the hwirq bookkeeping
from find_first_zero_bit() / __set_bit() to bitmap_find_free_region() /
bitmap_release_region(), release the region on iommu_dma_prepare_msi()
error, and loop irq_domain_set_info() over nr_irqs. For the current
single-MSI case (order 0) this is functionally equivalent; the only
externally visible change is -ENOMEM instead of -ENOSPC on exhaustion.

The second patch enables MSI_FLAG_MULTI_PCI_MSI on the parent domain, drops
the WARN_ON(nr_irqs != 1) guard, and statically pins each MSIR's chained
parent IRQ to its matching CPU in no-affinity mode. That pinning is
required because affinity mode only releases every (1 << ibs_shift)-th
hwirq and cannot satisfy aligned power-of-two allocations of size > 1;
users of multi-MSI must therefore boot with lsmsi=no-affinity.
