It is possible to unbind the uplink ETH driver while the E-Switch is
in switchdev mode. This leads to netdevice reference counting issues[1],
as the driver removal path was not designed to clean up from this state.
During uplink ETH driver removal (_mlx5e_remove), the code now waits for
any concurrent E-Switch mode transition to finish. It then removes the
REPs auxiliary device, if exists. This ensures a graceful cleanup.
