[PATCH] firmware: arm_ffa: Call ffa_rxtx_umap before calling ffa_rxtx_map

In ffa_probe call ffa_rxtx_unmap before calling ffa_rxtx_map. It is
possible that crash or a kexec can leave crb_ffa with old mappings.
A call to ffa_rxtx_map will fail and leave crb_ffa interface unavalable.
The unmap makes crb_ffa forget old mappings and allows new mappings
to be set up. In kernels where arm_ffa is built in, module exit
routine ffa_exit will never get called during kexec operation. This
leaves behind stale mapping. New kernel's ffa_probe call to ffa_rxtx_map
will fail and crb_ffa driver will not be available.
