Subject: igb: Unset IGB_FLAG_HAS_MSIX-flag when falling back to msi-only

From: Christoph Paasch <christoph.paasch@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit b709323d2477614823a38c2f2a9a206e087e28fc upstream.

Prior to cd14ef54d25 (igb: Change to use statically allocated array for
MSIx entries), having msix_entries different from NULL was an indicator
that MSIX is enabled.
In igb_set_interrupt_capabiliy we may fall back to MSI-only. Prior to
the above patch msix_entries was set to NULL by
igb_reset_interrupt_capability.

However, now we are checking the flag for IGB_FLAG_HAS_MSIX and so the
stack gets completly confused:

So, this patch unsets the flag to indicate that we are not using MSIX.
This patch does exactly this: Unsetting the flag when falling back to MSI.
