For v2, swap the patch order.
On my test system, I see SMN accesses from:
amd_pmf_probe() - read
amd_pmc_probe() - read
acp_acp70_audio_probe() - write

On a virtualized system, the number of nodes does not have a
relationship to the number of roots. A Xen PVH dom0 can calculate
roots_per_node as 0, which crashes with a divide by zero in:
if (count++ % roots_per_node)
The issue is seen with Xen, but it could affect other systems.
Change roots_per_node == 0 to 1 to allow the system to boot. Print a
warning when this is performed for non-virtualized systems.

v2:
Print as a warning instead of error
Use "!" instead of "== 0".
X86_FEATURE_XENPV is only for PV, but this is observed with a PVH dom0.

amd_smn_read/write() are exported functions around __amd_smn_rw(), so
they are always available even if amd_smn_init() fails. smn_exclusive
would prevent access to __amd_smn_rw(), but it is placed too late. If
amd_smn_init() failed, amd_roots is NULL and __amd_smn_rw() will fault
over it. Replace smn_exclusive with directly checking amd_roots to
avoid the NULL pointer dereference.
commit 83518453074d ("x86/amd_node: Add SMN offsets to exclusive region
access") added smn_exclusive which indicated the calls to
pci_request_config_region_exclusive() succeeded to prevent userspace
access.
commit 0a4b61d9c2e4 ("x86/amd_node: Fix AMD root device caching")
re-ordered initialization so pci_request_config_region_exclusive() is
called earlier and a failure exits amd_smn_init() before allocating
amd_roots. Setting smn_exclusive moved to the end of amd_smn_init(),
after amd_roots is allocated. smn_exclusive became redundant to
amd_roots and can be removed.
Add a comment stating how amd_roots replaces smn_exclusive's purpose.

There is an existing newline that is preserved here in the original

corrupted.

And this one specifically (the other two are being addressed):
"Are we missing a newline character at the end of this warning message?
Without a trailing \n in the format string, subsequent kernel messages might
be appended to the same line, resulting in malformed dmesg output."
