iavf: Fix hang during reboot/shutdown

Recent commit 974578017fc1 ("iavf: Add waiting so the port is

initialized in remove") adds a wait-loop at the beginning of

iavf_remove() to ensure that port initialization is finished

prior unregistering net device. This causes a regression

in reboot/shutdown scenario because in this case callback

iavf_shutdown() is called and this callback detaches the device,

makes it down if it is running and sets its state to __IAVF_REMOVE.

Later shutdown callback of associated PF driver (e.g. ice_shutdown)

is called. That callback calls among other things sriov_disable()

that calls indirectly iavf_remove() (see stack trace below).

As the adapter state is already __IAVF_REMOVE then the mentioned

loop is end-less and shutdown process hangs.

The patch fixes this by checking adapter's state at the beginning

of iavf_remove() and skips the rest of the function if the adapter

is already in remove state (shutdown is in progress).

Reproducer:

1. Create VF on PF driven by ice or i40e driver

2. Ensure that the VF is bound to iavf driver

3. Reboot
