net: mana: Guard mana_remove against double invocation

If PM resume fails (e.g., mana_attach() returns an error), mana_probe()
calls mana_remove(), which tears down the device and sets
gd->gdma_context = NULL and gd->driver_data = NULL. However, a failed
resume callback does not automatically unbind the driver. When the device
is eventually unbound, mana_remove() is invoked a second time. Without a
NULL check, it dereferences gc->dev with gc == NULL, causing a kernel
panic. Add an early return if gdma_context or driver_data is NULL so the
second invocation is harmless.

> Fixes: ca9c54d2d6a5 ("net: mana: Add a driver for Microsoft Azure Network Adapter (MANA)")

The Fixes: tag points to ca9c54d2d6a5, which introduced mana_remove()
without NULL checks. However, the exploitable double invocation scenario
was actually introduced by commit 635096a86edb ("net: mana: Support
hibernation and kexec"), which added suspend/resume support and made
mana_probe() call mana_remove() on error.

Should the Fixes: tag be:
