I don't think this change buys us anything. The goto error here seems
to be a hope that another cpu may have beat us and succeeded at
something we failed. In the case of matching the pci device to a drhd,
this should be deterministic (unless maybe we're racing a hot added
drhd). The rest seems fine to me. Thanks,
