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.
