Subject: [PATCH 5.13 133/151] PCI/MSI: Correct misleading comments

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>

commit 689e6b5351573c38ccf92a0dd8b3e2c2241e4aff upstream.

The comments about preserving the cached state in pci_msi[x]_shutdown() are
misleading as the MSI descriptors are freed right after those functions
return. So there is nothing to restore. Preparatory change.
