Subject: drm/nouveau/pci: do a msi rearm on init

From: Karol Herbst <kherbst@redhat.com>


[ Upstream commit a121027d2747168df0aac0c3da35509eea39f61c ]

On my GP107 when I load nouveau after unloading it, for some reason the
GPU stopped sending or the CPU stopped receiving interrupts if MSI was
enabled.

Doing a rearm once before getting any interrupts fixes this.
