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.
