Subject: [PATCH net] mlx4: Setting new port types after all interfaces unregistered


In port type change flow, need to set the new port types only after
all interfaces have finished the unregister process.
Otherwise, during unregister, one of the interfaces might issue a SET_PORT
command with wrong port types, it can cause bad FW behavior.
