Subject: [PATCH net] net/mlx4_core: Check device state before unregistering it

From: Alex Vesker <valex@...lanox.com>

Verify that the device state is registered before un-registering it.
This check is required to prevent an OOPS on flows that do
re-registration of the device and its previous state was
unregistered.
