We don't have it with PHB and PCI types, through the same use of
spapr_drc_unplug_requested().

LMBs see to avoid it by failing device_del early if an unplug
request is already in progress:

    /*
     * An existing pending dimm state for this DIMM means that there is an
     * unplug operation in progress, waiting for the spapr_lmb_release
     * callback to complete the job (BQL can't cover that far). In this case,
     * bail out to avoid detaching DRCs that were already released.
     */
    if (spapr_pending_dimm_unplugs_find(spapr, dimm)) {
        error_setg(&local_err,
                   "Memory unplug already in progress for device %s",
                   dev->id);
        goto out;
    }

Not sure why we error out in this case instead of ignoring the unplug 
request.
