We cannot put a mutex on hardware removal :)
So we have to live with errors due to removal.
If we are trying to configure a removed device,
the error will be not related to the root cause.
This patch is just trying to improve the situation by returning
an appropriate error code if removal can be detected.
Note: the check is run only if there is an error
and if the removal is not already detected.
If I understand well, you prefer relying only on asynchronous
hotplug events? Even if they come really late?
