    It is a serious driver defect to enable MSI or MSI-X more than once.  Doing
    so may panic the kernel as in the stack trace below:
    
      Call Trace:
        sysfs_add_one+0xa5/0xd0
        create_dir+0x7c/0xe0

        ---[ end trace 11042e2848880209 ]---
        Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: ffffffffa056b4fa
    
    We want to keep the WARN_ON() and stack trace so the driver can be fixed,
    but we can avoid the kernel panic by returning an error.  We may still get
    warnings like this:
    
      Call Trace:
        pci_enable_msix+0x3c9/0x3e0
        igbuio_pci_open+0x72/0x300 [igb_uio]
