The ops needs to be preserved even if the wq fails since the patch wants
to call snd_sof_remove_no_wq() unconditionally on remove.

I guess we can revert that in sof-dev, if this is the preferred way?

I would have not created the snd_sof_remove_no_wq() as it makes not much
functional sense.
It might be even better if the remove in the wq would do the
hda_codec_i915_exit() as the module will remain in there until the user
removes it.
