[libvirt] [PATCH v2 5/7] qemu: Reduce memlock limit after detaching PCI hostdev

We increase the limit before plugging in a PCI hostdev or a memory
module because some memory might need to be locked due to eg. VFIO.

Of course we should do the opposite after unplugging a device: this
was already the case for memory modules, but not for PCI hostdevs.
