Simon Glass 3632b5d63c dm: Remove children when parent is removed by flags
When dm_remove_devices_active() removes devices using specialised flags
like DM_REMOVE_ACTIVE_ALL, a parent device may match (e.g. MMC has
DM_FLAG_OS_PREPARE) while its children do not. This deactivates the
parent but leaves children activated, an inconsistent state.

Later, when uclass_destroy() calls device_remove() with DM_REMOVE_NORMAL
on the already-deactivated parent, it returns early without touching the
children. The subsequent device_unbind() then fails because the children
are still activated.

Fix this by dropping only the DM_REMOVE_ACTIVE_ALL requirement for child
removal when the parent is being removed. This ensures children are
removed along with their parent, while still preserving other flags like
DM_REMOVE_NON_VITAL so that vital devices remain protected.
