Presently when an error is encountered during probe of the cxlflash adapter, a deadlock is seen with cpu thread stuck inside cxlflash_remove(). Below is the trace of the deadlock as logged by khungtaskd:

The deadlock occurs as cxlflash_remove() is called from cxlflash_probe() without setting 'cxlflash_cfg->state' to STATE_PROBED and the probe thread starts to wait on 'cxlflash_cfg->reset_waitq'. Since the device was never successfully probed the 'cxlflash_cfg->state' never changes from STATE_PROBING hence the deadlock occurs.
We fix this deadlock by setting the variable 'cxlflash_cfg->state' to STATE_PROBED in case an error occurs during cxlflash_probe() and just before calling cxlflash_remove().
