There where patches for a similar bug in the debugfs interface, but I'm
not able to find anything for rproc_shutdown().


As I suggested in the previous version of this series I think it's ok
that we move forward with replicating the same faulty logic that we have
in the sysfs interface and then fix rproc_shutdown() so that it
internally checks the current state and return appropriately.
