Subject: [PATCH 3/7] remoteproc: safer boot/shutdown order

Boot the remote processor only after setting up the virtqueues,
and shut it down before deleting them.

Remote processors should obey virtio status changes, and
therefore not manipulate/trigger the virtqueues while the virtio
driver isn't ready, but it's just safer not to rely on that
(plus a vq access might already be inflight while a vdev
status is changed).

We also don't have yet status change notifications, but that's
a temporary limitation.
