Subject: [PATCH 4.14 206/246] scsi: cxlflash: Synchronize reset and remove ops

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

[ Upstream commit a3feb6ef50def7c91244d7bd15a3625b7b49b81f ]

The following Oops can be encountered if a device removal or system shutdown
is initiated while an EEH recovery is in process:

[c000000ff2f47e30] c00000000000b528 ret_from_kernel_thread+0x5c/0xb4

The remove handler frees AFU memory while the EEH recovery is in progress,
leading to a race condition. This can result in a crash if the recovery thread
tries to access this memory.

To resolve this issue, the cxlflash remove handler will evaluate the device
state and yield to any active reset or probing threads.
