[PATCH] vfio: pci: fix oops in case of vfio_msi_set_vector_signal failure

In case vfio_msi_set_vector_signal fails we tear down everything.
In the tear down loop we compare int j against unsigned start. Given
the arithmetic conversion I think it is converted into an unsigned and
becomes 0xffffffff, leading to the loop being entered again and things
turn bad when accessing vdev->msix[vector].vector. So let's use int
parameters instead.
