This looks good, but the subject is too long and I find the commit log
somewhat confusing.  May I update these as follows?

    vfio_pci: Restore original state on release
    
    vfio_pci_enable() saves the device's initial configuration information
    with the intent that it is restored in vfio_pci_disable().  However,
    commit 890ed578df82 ("vfio-pci: Use pci "try" reset interface")
    replaced the call to __pci_reset_function_locked(), which is not wrapped
    in a state save and restore, with pci_try_reset_function(), which
    overwrites the restored device state with the current state before
    applying it to the device.  Restore use of __pci_reset_function_locked()
    to return to the desired behavior.

Thanks,
Alex
