uio/uio_pci_generic: don't fail probe if pdev->irq == NULL
Some userspace drivers and frameworks only poll and do not require interrupts to be available and enabled on the PCI device. So remove the requirement that an IRQ is assigned. If an IRQ is not assigned and a userspace driver tries to read()/write(), the generic uio framework will just return -EIO. This allows binding uio_pci_generic to devices which cannot get an IRQ assigned, such as an NVMe controller behind Intel Volume Management Device (VMD), since VMD does not support INTx interrupts.
