This patch relies on the previous one, otherwise g_hash_table_remove_all() will
just g_free() the spapr_pci_msi structures, but it will not tear down the MSIs
in the interrupt controller.

Also, this bug is so old that I'm not sure it qualifies for stable.

Because spapr_phb_unrealize() does this:

    if (sphb->msi) {
        g_hash_table_unref(sphb->msi);
        sphb->msi = NULL;
    }

and

https://developer.gnome.org/glib/stable/glib-Hash-Tables.html#g-hash-table-unref

g_hash_table_unref ()

void
g_hash_table_unref (GHashTable *hash_table);

Atomically decrements the reference count of hash_table by one. If the reference
count drops to 0, all keys and values will be destroyed, and all memory 
allocated
by the hash table is released. This function is MT-safe and may be called from 
any
thread.

If I have to re-post, I can make it clear with a comment.
