Hmm. I meant to move bit checking onto ice_vsi_close() only, so you would
bail out of it in case bit has already been set.

overall, ice_dis_vsi() is a very cumbersome way of calling ice_vsi_close()
:(

I guess we can progress with what you have but i'd like to brainstorm
later about some simplification around it.

I prototyped something but not tested that, just to maybe spark a
discussion. Feels easier to read and swallow in the end. Not sure if
functionality is kept:)
