PCI/MSI: Clarify pci_free_irq_vectors() usage for managed devices
Update pci_free_irq_vectors() documentation to clarify that drivers using
pcim_enable_device() must not call pci_free_irq_vectors().
For legacy reasons, pcim_enable_device() switches several normally
un-managed functions into managed mode. Currently, the only function
affected in this way is pcim_setup_msi_release(), which results in
automatic IRQ vector management.
This behavior is dangerous and confusing. Drivers using pcim_enable_device()
should rely on the automatic IRQ vector management and avoid calling
pci_free_irq_vectors() manually.
