PCI: make re-allocation try harder by reassigning ranges higher in the heirarchy
On a system with devices that support SRIOV connected to a pcie switch to pcie root port: +-[0000:80]-+-00.0-[81-8f]-- | +-01.0-[90-9f]-- | +-02.0-[a0-af]----00.0-[a1-a3]--+-02.0-[a2]--+-00.0 Oracle Corporation Device 207a | | \-03.0-[a3]--+-00.0 Oracle Corporation Device 207a | +-02.2-[b0-bf]----00.0-[b1-b3]--+-02.0-[b2]--+-00.0 Oracle Corporation Device 207a | | \-03.0-[b3]--+-00.0 Oracle Corporation Device 207a When the BIOS does not assign resources for SRIOV BARs, kernel pci reallocation only goes up one bridge and then gives up, failing to to get resources for all sSRIOV BARs, even though the range is large enough in the peer root bus. Specifically, only the bridge at the a1:02.0 level has its resources cleared and reallocated. The kernel does not go up to clear the bridge at the 80:02.0 level. To make it go to upper levels, during retry, we need to treat "good to have" resources as "must have". Only on the last try will we treat good to have resources as optional. At that time, parent bridge resources will already have been released so we'll have a chance to get everything assigned with must_have plus good_to_have for all child devices.
