rpmsg: char: Check for ongoing chrdev destroy

A null pointer panic is observed when stopping a remoteproc and closing
a character device using the RPMSG_DESTROY_EPT_IOCTL. There is a race
where each context calls rpmsg_chrdev_eptdev_destroy(). The thread that
runs second will call cdev_device_del() for a second time, which fails
because the first call already removed the device from sysfs. Add a
check at the beginning of destroy and exit early if the destroy call
has already been done.
