PCI/MSI: Add pci_enable_msi() documentation back

We deprecated pci_enable_msi() in 302a2523c277 ("PCI/MSI: Add
pci_enable_msi_range() and pci_enable_msix_range()").

But we changed our minds after noticing that:

  - pci_enable_msi() doesn't have confusing return values like
    pci_enable_msi_block() and pci_enable_msix() did, and

  - pci_enable_msi() has a hundred or so callers that we don't want to
    change.

This adds back the pci_enable_msi() documentation.

+A successful call allocates ONE interrupt to the device, regardless
+of how many MSIs the device supports.  The device is switched from
+pin-based interrupt mode to MSI mode.  The dev->irq number is changed
+to a new number which represents the message signaled interrupt;
+consequently, this function should be called before the driver calls
+request_irq(), because an MSI is delivered via a vector that is
+different from the vector of a pin-based interrupt.
