PCI/MSI: Fix UAF in msi_capability_init

KFENCE reports the following UAF:

BUG: KFENCE: use-after-free read in __pci_enable_msi_range+0x2c0/0x488

Use-after-free read at 0x0000000024629571 (in kfence-#12):

Descriptor allocation done in:

__pci_enable_msi_range

msi_capability_init

msi_setup_msi_desc

msi_insert_msi_desc

msi_domain_insert_msi_desc

msi_alloc_desc

...

Freed in case of failure in __msi_domain_alloc_locked()

__pci_enable_msi_range

msi_capability_init

pci_msi_setup_msi_irqs

msi_domain_alloc_irqs_all_locked

msi_domain_alloc_locked

__msi_domain_alloc_locked => fails

msi_domain_free_locked

...

That failure propagates back to pci_msi_setup_msi_irqs() in

msi_capability_init() which accesses the descriptor for unmasking in the

error exit path.

Cure it by copying the descriptor and using the copy for the error exit path

unmask operation.
