xsk: proper AF_XDP socket teardown ordering

The AF_XDP socket struct can exist in three different, implicit
states: setup, bound and released. Setup is prior the socket has been
bound to a device. Bound is when the socket is active for receive and
send. Released is when the process/userspace side of the socket is
released, but the sock object is still lingering, e.g. when there is a
reference to the socket in an XSKMAP after process termination.

The Rx fast-path code uses the "dev" member of struct xdp_sock to
check whether a socket is bound or relased, and the Tx code uses the
struct xdp_umem "xsk_list" member in conjunction with "dev" to
determine the state of a socket.

However, the transition from bound to released did not tear the socket
down in correct order.

On the Rx side "dev" was cleared after synchronize_net() making the
synchronization useless. On the Tx side, the internal queues were
destroyed prior removing them from the "xsk_list".

This commit corrects the cleanup order, and by doing so
