pci_msix_validate_entries() validates the entries array which is handed in
by the caller for a MSI-X interrupt allocation. Aside of consistency
failures it also detects a failure when the size of the MSI-X hardware table
in the device is smaller than the size of the entries array.
That's wrong for the case of range allocations where the caller provides
the minimum and the maximum number of vectors to allocate, when the
hardware size is greater or equal than the mininum, but smaller than the
maximum.
Remove the hardware size check completely from that function and just
ensure that the entires array up to the maximum size is consistent.
The limitation and range checking versus the hardware size happens
independently of that afterwards anyway because the entries array is
optional.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
