I leave the checking for REMOVING there in ibmvnic_reset, which is the
function to schedule/queue up the resets.
Here I delete the REMOVING in __ibmvnic_reset to let it run and finish.
Otherwise flush_work will not do anything if __ibmvnic_reset() just return
doing nothing.
I can explain it in the commit message.
