Set BusMaster to make the driver to be PCI conformant.

Could update the commit title and message body to reflect more the why and what for the change. One option can be:

nitro_enclaves: Set Bus Master for the NE PCI device

Enable Bus Master for the NE PCI device, according to the PCI spec
for submitting memory or I/O requests:
  Bus Master Enable ...



Please include the changelog in the commit message for the next revision(s).

+ Greg in CC, as the patches for the Nitro Enclaves kernel driver are first included in the char misc tree, then in the linux next and finally in the mainline.

I was looking if we need the reverse for this - pci_clear_master() [1] - on the error and remove / shutdown codebase paths, but pci_disable_device() seems to include the bus master disable logic [2][3].

Thanks,
Andra
