Description of the bug

If DPU is currently powered off (with admin state set to down in configuration on config reload/ reboot commands will call the command set_admin_state_gracefully on an already powered off DPU. which will in-turn lead to gnoi-shutdown-daemon execution we get the error:

        },
        "DPU1": {
            "admin_status": "down"
        },
        "DPU2": {
            "admin_status": "down"
        },
        "DPU3": {
            "admin_status": "down"
        }
