This patch was corrupted, so I couldn't apply it directly.  See
Documentation/SubmittingPatches, sections 5-7.

I like the "!addr" cleanup.

Did you actually see this problem on a machine?

I expect this would be a BIOS bug, and one that should be found
early in development, long before a machine is released.
Therefore, I doubt that it's worth adding another printk for it.
If an end-user sees this problem, I think we'll already get a
generic message from check_segment().

I propose the patch below; what do you think?

    x86/PCI: MMCONFIG: Check earlier for MMCONFIG region at address zero
    
    We can check for addr being zero earlier and thus avoid the mutex_unlock()
    cleanup path.
