vfio/pci: Restore MSIx message prior to enabling
The MSIx vector table lives in device memory, which may be cleared as part of a backdoor device reset. This is the case on the IBM IPR HBA when the BIST is run on the device. When assigned to a QEMU guest, the guest driver does a pci_save_state(), issues a BIST, then does a pci_restore_state(). The BIST clears the MSIx vector table, but due to the way interrupts are configured the pci_restore_state() does not restore the vector table as expected. Eventually this results in an EEH error on Power platforms when the device attempts to signal an interrupt with the zero'd table entry. Fix the problem by restoring the host cached MSI message prior to enabling each vector.
