Subject: [PATCH] net: dsa: Fix cleanup resources upon module removal

The initial commit badly merged into the dsa_resume method instead
of the dsa_remove_dst method.
As consequence, the dst->master_netdev->dsa_ptr is not set to NULL on
removal and re-bind of the dsa device fails with error -17.

Fixes: b0dc635d923c ("net: dsa: cleanup resources upon module removal ")

David, Florian, Andrew,

This fix is quite urgent since it breaks all the removal cleanup.

Thanks,
Neil
