Currently if compose_msi_msg() is called multiple times, it will free any previous ITRE allocation, and generate a new allocation. While nothing prevents this from occurring, it is extranious when Linux could just reuse the existing allocation and avoid a bunch of overhead. However, when future ITRE allocations operate on blocks of MSIs instead of a single line, freeing the allocation will impact all of the lines. This could cause an issue where an allocation of N MSIs occurs, then some of the lines are retargeted, and finally the allocation is freed/reallocated. The freeing of the allocation removes all of the configuration for the entire block, which requires all the lines to be retargeted, which might not happen since some lines might already be unmasked/active.
