While debugging an unrelated issue with the GICv3 ITS driver, the
following trace triggered:

---[ end trace f9ee562a77cc7bae ]---

The ITS msi_prepare callback having failed, we end-up trying to
free MSIs that have never been allocated. Oddly enough, the kernel
is pretty upset about it.

It turns out that this behaviour was expected before the MSI domain
was introduced (and dealt with in arch_teardown_msi_irqs).

The obvious fix is to detect this early enough and bail out.
