I don't think that's strictly necessary in this case. After the call to
pci_common_exit() there are no PCI devices left, there's not even a bus
left. All MSI users should have cleaned up after themselves.

Given that I thought it more useful to mirror the setup done in .probe()
to make it clearer what's being undone (and potentially what's missing).
