If remote processor has already been in RUNNING or ATTACHED
state, report it. Not just increment the power counter and return
success.
Without this patch, if m7 is in RUNNING state, and start it again,
nothing output to console.
If wanna to stop the m7, we need write twice 'stop'.
This patch is to improve that the 2nd start would show some useful
info.

Not sure to keep power counter or not.
I did discuss this with Mathieu, whom argued in favor of keeping the
refcount mechanism.
I can see that there could be a scenario where multiple user-space
components keep the remotproc running while they are, and if there is
any such user this ABI change would be a breakage.
That said, it's more than once that I accidentally have bumped the
refcount and then assumed that a single stop would tear down the
remoteproc...

If we were to do this would it make sense to boot it out of anything but
RPROC_OFFLINE?
It is just a bit confused if started twice, need stop twice without any
notice.Not a critical thing, we could leave it as is.
Thanks,
Peng.
