Calling optee_disable_shm_cache() in both if and else. It could be
put in front of if().


Ideally, I could just use optee_remove for shutdown() too.
But it would not look good. Hence this approach.

What is the problem with using optee_remove() for shutdown()?


There is no problem, I just thought it would be more cleaner/readable
with this approach. If you'd like to keep it simple by just calling
optee_remove() for shutdown() too, I could quickly send out V2.

Thanks for the review.
