PCI: output FW warning in pci_read/write_vpd

pci_read/write_vpd() can fail due to a timeout.  Usually the command
times out because of firmware issues (incorrect vpd length, etc.) on the
PCI card.  Currently, the timeout occurs silently.

Output a message to the user indicating that they should check with
their vendor for new firmware.
