The call to mlx5_unregister_device() means that mlx5_core driver
is
removed. In such scenario, we need to disregard all other flags
like
attach/detach and forcibly remove all auxiliary devices.

Fixes: a5ae8fc9058e ("net/mlx5e: Don't create devices during
unload flow")

Any reason do not apply this patch?

'Awaiting upstream' => we expect Saeed to take it via his tree.
If special handling is requested is should be noted somewhere.

Planned for submission in my next pr.
I don't send net prs until i have enough content, to avoid spamming the
mailing list :).
