remoteproc: safer boot/shutdown order
Boot the remote processor only after setting up the virtqueues, and shut it down before deleting them. Remote processors should obey virtio status changes, and therefore not manipulate/trigger the virtqueues while the virtio driver isn't ready, but it's just safer not to rely on that (plus a vq access might already be inflight while a vdev status is changed). We also don't have yet status change notifications, but that's a temporary limitation.
