Should probably use userspace for coherency.

Not sure about the capital Remoteproc 'R' here, but maybe others can
comment.

rproc state != RUNNING can probably happen if the remoteproc
crashed I think. However, you'll return EINVAL, though I'm not
sure about what the user could do in such cases, maybe returning
another more meaningful value could be useful.
