x86/pci: Comment pci_mmconfig_insert() obscure MCFG dependency
In pci_mmconfig_insert(), there's no reference to "addr" between locking
pci_mmcfg_lock and testing "addr", so it *looks* like we should move the
test before the lock.
But 07f9b61 ("x86/PCI: MMCONFIG: Check earlier for MMCONFIG region at
address zero") did that, which broke things by returning -EINVAL when
"addr" is zero instead of -EEXIST.
So 07f9b61 was reverted by 67d470e ("Revert "x86/PCI: MMCONFIG:
Check earlier for MMCONFIG region at address zero"").
Add a comment about this issue to prevent it from happening again.
