device: fix autoactivating virtual devices after a failure

Beniamino Galvani requested to merge bg/rh1818697 into master

When a virtual device fails, its state goes to FAIL and then DISCONNECTED. In DISCONNECTED we call schedule_activate_check() to schedule an auto-activation if needed. We also schudule the deletion of the link through delete_on_deactivate_check_and_schedule(). The auto-activation attempt fails because the link deletion unmanages the device; as a result, the device doesn't try to auto-activate again.

To fix this:

  • don't allow the device to auto-activate if the device deletion is pending;

  • check again if the device can be auto-activated after its deletion.
