virtio_net: adjust the execution order of function `virtnet_close` during freeze
"Use after free" issue appears in suspend once race occurs when
napi poll scheduls after `netif_device_detach` and before napi disables.
For details, during suspend flow of virtio-net,
the tx queue state is set to "__QUEUE_STATE_DRV_XOFF" by CPU-A.
And at some coincidental times, if a TCP connection is still working,
CPU-B does `virtnet_poll` before napi disable.
In this flow, the state "__QUEUE_STATE_DRV_XOFF"
of tx queue will be cleared. This is not the normal process it expects.
After that, CPU-A continues to close driver then virtqueue is removed.
Sequence likes below:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
When TCP delayack timer is up, a cpu gets softirq and irq handler
`tcp_delack_timer_handler` will be called, which will finally call
`start_xmit` in virtio net driver.
Then the access to tx virtq will cause panic.
The root cause of this issue is that napi tx
is not disable before `netif_tx_stop_queue`,
once `virnet_poll` schedules in such coincidental time,
the tx queue state will be cleared.
To solve this issue, adjusts the order of
function `virtnet_close` in `virtnet_freeze_down`.
