[ Upstream commit 5629f8859dca7ef74d7314b60de6a957f23166c0 ]

Profile rollback can fail in mlx5e_netdev_change_profile() and we will
end up with invalid mlx5e_priv memset to 0, we must maintain the
'destroying' bit in order to gracefully shutdown even if the
profile/priv are not valid.

This patch maintains the previous state of the 'destroying' state of
mlx5e_priv after priv cleanup, to allow the remove flow to cleanup
common resources from mlx5_core to avoid FW fatal errors as seen below:

$ devlink dev eswitch set pci/0000:00:03.0 mode switchdev
