liquidio: fix kernel panic in VF driver
Doing ifconfig down on VF driver in the middle of receiving line rate
traffic causes a kernel panic:
LiquidIO_VF 0000:02:00.3: should not come here should not get rx when poll mode = 0 for vf
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)
.

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt
Kernel Offset: 0x24000000 from 0xffffffff81000000 (relocation range: 0xffffffff80000000-0xffffffffbfffffff)
---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt
Reason is: in the function assigned to net_device_ops->ndo_stop, the steps
for bringing down the interface are done in the wrong order. The step that
notifies the NIC firmware to stop forwarding packets to host is done too
late. Fix it by moving that step to the beginning.
