x86/pci: Comment pci_mmconfig_insert() obscure MCFG dependency
In pci_mmconfig_insert(), there's no reference to "addr" between locking pci_mmcfg_lock and testing "addr", so it *looks* like we should move the test before the lock. But 07f9b61c ("x86/PCI: MMCONFIG: Check earlier for MMCONFIG region at address zero") did that, which broke things by returning -EINVAL when "addr" is zero instead of -EEXIST. So 07f9b61c was reverted by 67d470e0 ("Revert "x86/PCI: MMCONFIG: Check earlier for MMCONFIG region at address zero""). Add a comment about this issue to prevent it from happening again.
