Subject: [PATCH net] qede: Fix ref-cnt usage count

Rebooting while qedr is loaded with a VLAN interface present
results in unregister_netdevice waiting for the usage count
to become free.
The fix is that rdma devices should be removed before unregistering
the netdevice, to assure all references to ndev are decreased.
