If you have read the following commit comments, As you know, the
pci_alloc_irq_vectors() is not a real device-managed function. But
in some specific cases, it will act as an device-managed function.
Such naming will cause controversy, So In the case of need device-managed,
should be used pcim_alloc_irq_vectors(), an explicit device-managed
function. So the subject name is "Use the correct name of device-managed function".

These are all explained by the device-managed function mechanism.

To put it simply, if the driver probe fail, the device-managed function
mechanism will automatically call pcim_release(), then the pci_free_irq_vectors()
will be executed. For details, please see the relevant code.

Yes, you guessed right.
