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.
