dm crypt: wait for endio to complete before destruction



The following oops has been reported when dm-crypt runs over a loop device.

When a table is being replaced, it waits for I/O to complete
before destroying the mempool, but the endio function doesn't
call mempool_free() until after completing the bio.

Fix it by swapping the order of those two operations.

The same problem occurs in dm.c with md referenced after dec_pending.
Again, we swap the order.
