Add "VF is already removed\n" in dev_dbg(). This WARN_ON() is unnecessary and causes call trace, despite that call trace, driver still works. There is no need for this warn because this piece of code is responsible for disabling VF's Tx/Rx queues when VF is disabled, but when VF is already removed there is no need to do reset or disable queues.
