[PATCH v3 39/41] cxlflash: Synchronize reset and remove ops

The following Oops can be encountered if a device removal or system
shutdown is initiated while an EEH recovery is in process:

[c000000ff2f479c0] c008000015256f18 cxlflash_pci_slot_reset+0xa0/0x100

[c000000ff2f47d10] c0000000000400b8 eeh_event_handler+0x1f8/0x200
[c000000ff2f47dc0] c00000000013da48 kthread+0x1a8/0x1b0
[c000000ff2f47e30] c00000000000b528 ret_from_kernel_thread+0x5c/0xb4

The remove handler frees AFU memory while the EEH recovery is in progress,
leading to a race condition. This can result in a crash if the recovery
thread tries to access this memory.

To resolve this issue, the cxlflash remove handler will evaluate the
device state and yield to any active reset or probing threads.
