    xen: do not re-use pirq number cached in pci device msi msg data · ddfc5326

    Revert the main part of commit:
    af42b8d1 ("xen: fix MSI setup and teardown for PV on HVM guests")
    
    That commit introduced reading the pci device's msi message data to see
    if a pirq was previously configured for the device's msi/msix, and re-use
    that pirq.  At the time, that was the correct behavior.  However, a
    later change to Qemu caused it to call into the Xen hypervisor to unmap
    all pirqs for a pci device, when the pci device disables its MSI/MSIX
    vectors; specifically the Qemu commit:
    c976437c7dba9c7444fb41df45468968aaa326ad
    ("qemu-xen: free all the pirqs for msi/msix when driver unload")
    
    Once Qemu added this pirq unmapping, it was no longer correct for the
    kernel to re-use the pirq number cached in the pci device msi message
    data.  All Qemu releases since 2.1.0 contain the patch that unmaps the
    pirqs when the pci device disables its MSI/MSIX vectors.
    
    This bug is causing failures to initialize multiple NVMe controllers
    under Xen, because the NVMe driver sets up a single MSIX vector for
    each controller (concurrently), and then after using that to talk to
    the controller for some configuration data, it disables the single MSIX
    vector and re-configures all the MSIX vectors it needs.  So the MSIX
    setup code tries to re-use the cached pirq from the first vector
    for each controller, but the hypervisor has already given away that
    pirq to another controller, and its initialization fails.
