I wonder if this should save+unmask and restore the prior state when the
cxl_port detaches from the port driver?

I guess we can wait to see if this causes problems since internal errors
should be more predictable / reliable on CXL devices compared to generic
PCIe devices where Linux never enabled internal errors previously.
