The cp_free() call is gone here with [1], so I think this function now
just ends with:

	...
	vfio_ccw_mdev_reset(private);
}

There are also minor contextual differences elsewhere from that series,
so a quick respin to record the changes on list would be appreciated.

However the above kind of highlights that NOTIFY_BAD that silently gets
dropped here.  I realize we weren't testing the return value of the
notifier call chain and really we didn't intend that notifiers could
return a failure here, but does this warrant some logging or suggest
future work to allow a device to go offline here?  Thanks.
