Here, 50+ (5s) retry of scm shutdown is failing during decryption of
remote processor memory region, and i don't think, it is anyway to do
with remote processor state here, as a best effort more number of
retries can be tried instead of 50 or wait for some other recovery
command like recovery_store() to let it do the retry again from
beginning.

Handling in a remoteproc core means we may need another state something
like "RPROC_UNKNOWN" which can be kept after one attempt of recovery
failure and checking the same during another try return immediately with
some log message.
