net/mlx4_core: Keep only one driver entry release mlx4_priv
[ Upstream commit da1de8dfff09d33d4a5345762c21b487028e25f5 ] Following commit befdf89 "net/mlx4_core: Preserve pci_dev_data after __mlx4_remove_one()", there are two mlx4 pci callbacks which will attempt to release the mlx4_priv object -- .shutdown and .remove. This leads to a use-after-free access to the already freed mlx4_priv instance and trigger a "Kernel access of bad area" crash when both .shutdown and .remove are called. During reboot or kexec, .shutdown is called, with the VFs probed to the host going through shutdown first and then the PF. Later, the PF will trigger VFs' .remove since VFs still have driver attached. Fix that by keeping only one driver entry which releases mlx4_priv.
