    staging: rtl8712: fix use-after-free in rtl8712_dl_fw

    Syzbot reported use-after-free in rtl8712_dl_fw(). The problem was in
    race condition between r871xu_dev_remove() ->ndo_open() callback.

    It's easy to see from crash log, that driver accesses released firmware
    in ->ndo_open() callback. It may happen, since driver was releasing
    firmware _before_ unregistering netdev. Fix it by moving
    unregister_netdev() before cleaning up resources.
