    net: ipa: ignore CHANNEL_NOT_RUNNING errors
    
    [ Upstream commit f849afcc8c3b27d7b50827e95b60557f24184df0 ]
    
    IPA v4.2 has a hardware quirk that requires the AP to allocate GSI
    channels for the modem to use.  It is recommended that these modem
    channels get stopped (with a HALT generic command) by the AP when
    its IPA driver gets removed.
    
    The AP has no way of knowing the current state of a modem channel.
    So when the IPA driver issues a HALT command it's possible the
    channel is not running, and in that case we get an error indication.
    This error simply means we didn't need to stop the channel, so we
    can ignore it.
    
    This patch adds an explanation for this situation, and arranges for
    this condition to *not* report an error message.
