x86/amd_nb: Enhance SMN access error checking



AMD Zen-based systems use a System Management Network (SMN) that
provides access to implementation-specific registers.

SMN accesses are done indirectly through an index/data pair in PCI
config space. The accesses can fail for a variety of reasons.

Include code comments to describe some possible scenarios.

Require error checking for callers of amd_smn_read() and amd_smn_write().
This is needed because many error conditions cannot be checked by these
functions.
