PCI: Avoid saving config space state if inaccessible

This commit modifies the PCI reset process to avoid saving the device's
configuration space state if it is inaccessible. It checks the PCI_COMMAND
register to determine accessibility before attempting to save the state.

[Severity: Low]
This isn't a bug, but should the msg parameter be declared as const char *
instead of char *?

The function is called with string literals, which violates const
correctness and can trigger discarded-qualifier compiler warnings.
