Linux enables MSI-X before disabling INTx, but keeps MSI-X masked until
the table is filled. Then it disables INTx just before clearing MASKALL
bit. Currently this approach is rejected by xen-pciback.
According to the PCIe spec, device cannot use INTx when MSI/MSI-X is
enabled (in other words: enabling MSI/MSI-X implicitly disables INTx).

Change the logic to consider INTx disabled if MSI/MSI-X is enabled. This
applies to three places:
- checking currently enabled interrupts type,
- transition to MSI/MSI-X - where INTx would be implicitly disabled,
- clearing INTx disable bit - which can be allowed even if MSI/MSI-X is
enabled, as device should consider INTx disabled anyway in that case
