x86/PCI: VMD: Synchronize with RCU freeing MSI IRQ descs
Fix a potential race when disabling MSI/MSI-X on a VMD domain device. If the VMD interrupt service is running, it may see a disabled IRQ. We can synchronize RCU just before freeing the MSI descriptor. This is safe since the irq_desc lock isn't held, and the descriptor is valid even though it is disabled. After vmd_msi_free(), though, the handler is reinitialized to handle_bad_irq(), so we can't let the VMD ISR's list iteration see the disabled IRQ after this.
