The driver calls pci_set_mwi to enable memory-write-invalidate when it

other drivers calls pci_clear_mwi when pci_set_mwi is called, such as
r8169, 8139cp and e1000.

This patch adds pci_clear_mwi in error handling and removal procedure,
which can fix the problem.

Looks good to me.
Does this fix any actual issue?
If yes it might we worth to mention it in the commit message.

Lacking pci_clear_mwi may cause a resource-release omission,
but this omission may not cause obvious issues.
For reliability, it is better to add pci_clear_mwi in the driver.
Many other drivers do so, such as r8169, 8139cp and e1000.
