Parav Pandit 26c9e3988e 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.

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.
