Not always, When VFIO_IRQ_SET_DATA_NONE flag is set, caller can pass
data_size = NULL.

In that case below check (!data_size) might result in error if data_size
== NULL, whereas its not error case when size == 0, i.e.
VFIO_IRQ_SET_DATA_NONE flag set.

This is not redundant. If you see above check, it sets its init value to
0 but doesn't fail.

Later one is the prepare.

I do had all 3 patch merged in one in earlier version of patchset. This
is split as per Alex's suggestion.

We want these symbols to be available to all drivers.
