PCI/MSI: Add an option to write MSIX ENTRY_DATA before any reads

[ Upstream commit cf761e3dacc6ad5f65a4886d00da1f9681e6805a ]

Commit 7d5ec3d36123 ("PCI/MSI: Mask all unused MSI-X entries") introduced a
readl() from ENTRY_VECTOR_CTRL before the writel() to ENTRY_DATA.

This is correct, however some hardware, like the Sun Neptune chips, the NIU
module, will cause an error and/or fatal trap if any MSIX table entry is
read before the corresponding ENTRY_DATA field is written to.

Add an optional early writel() in msix_prepare_msi_desc().
