Beniamino Galvani 8123c42e61 cli: fix crash when removing devices
When a software device is removed by nmcli in parallel with a
disconnection, e.g.:

     nmcli connection add type team ifname t1 con-name t1
     sleep 1
     nmcli connection down t1 & nmcli device delete t1

nmcli sometimes crashes in the following way:

 ...
 Connection 't1' (e4701688-d1a9-4942-85f0-a2081e120023) successfully added.
 Connection 't1' successfully deactivated (D-Bus active path: /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/36)
 Device 't1' successfully removed.

The reason is that after calling nm_device_delete_async() we also
listen for the manager device-removed signal. When the signal is
received, device_removed_cb() destroy the @info structure and calls
g_main_loop_quit (loop). However, if the delete_device_cb() callback
has already been dispatched it is executed anyway and it tries to
access a stale @info.

It makes little sense to listen for the device-removed signal since
the return value of nm_device_delete_async() already tells us whether
the device was removed successfully or not.

The only advantage would be that when the device goes away for other
reasons we can still return success, but that is racy and should not
be relied upon.
