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

Descriptor allocation done in:
__pci_enable_msi_range

        msi_setup_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 => 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.

CWE-416 Use After Free

The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
