note that __mlx4_remove_one() is what called from mlx4_pci_err_detected()
and the former is built in a way which allows it to be called twice.

In that respect, I agree to the fix provided by Wei Yang over this thread, which
essentially makes .shutdown to behave in a similar way and call
__mlx4_remove_one()
and will submit it for inclusion.
