pci_msix_write_tph_tag() takes the per device MSI descriptor mutex and then
invokes msi_domain_get_virq(), which takes the same mutex again. That
obviously results in a system hang which is exposed by a softlockup or
lockdep warning.

Move the lock guard after the invocation of msi_domain_get_virq() to fix
this.

[ tglx: Massage changelog by adding a proper explanation and removing the
   not really useful stacktrace ]

Fixes: d5124a9957b2 ("PCI/MSI: Provide a sane mechanism for TPH")
