vfio/mdev: Avoid creating sysfs remove file on stale device removal

If device is removal is initiated by two threads as below, mdev core
attempts to create a syfs remove file on stale device.
During this flow, below [1] call trace is observed.

     cpu-0                                    cpu-1
     -----                                    -----
  mdev_unregister_device()
    device_for_each_child
       mdev_device_remove_cb
          mdev_device_remove
                                       user_syscall
                                         remove_store()
                                           mdev_device_remove()
                                        [..]
   unregister device();
                                       /* not found in list or
                                        * active=false.
                                        */
                                          sysfs_create_file()
                                          ..Call trace

Now that mdev core follows correct device removal sequence of the linux
bus model, remove shouldn't fail in normal cases. If it fails, there is
no point of creating a stale file or checking for specific error status.
