When drmgr is run in the guest to add a device for which device_add hasn't been issued in QEMU, configure-connector call fails. When configure-connector call fails, the guest would release (*) the previously acquired DRC by setting back the DRC isolation state to ISOLATED and allocation state to UNUSABLE. These calls will be issued only if get-sensor-state call returns PRESENT state. However currently for a logical DR, entity_sense() would unconditinally return UNUSABLE state only. This prevents any subsequent hotplug of the device with that DRC.
Fix this by returning the right state in entity_sense() by checking the allocation_state of DRC.
