Subject: [PATCH] misc: mic: Fix crash when MIC reset is invoked in RESET_FAILED state

This patch fixes the following crash seen when MIC reset is invoked in
RESET_FAILED state due to device_del being called a second time on an
already deleted device:

[<ffffffff813b2295>] device_del+0x45/0x1d0
[<ffffffff813b243e>] device_unregister+0x1e/0x60
[<ffffffffa040f1c2>] scif_unregister_device+0x12/0x20 [scif_bus]
[<ffffffffa042f75a>] cosm_stop+0xaa/0xe0 [mic_cosm]
[<ffffffffa042f844>] cosm_reset_trigger_work+0x14/0x20 [mic_cosm]

The fix consists in realizing that because cosm_reset changes the
state to MIC_RESETTING, cosm_stop needs the previous state, before it
changed to MIC_RESETTING, to decide whether a hw_ops->stop had
previously been issued. This is now provided in a new cosm_device
member cdev->prev_state.
