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_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.
