parport: parport_pc, do not remove parent devices early

When the parport_pc module is removed from the system, all parport
devices are iterated in parport_pc_exit and removed by a call to
parport_pc_unregister_port. Note that some parport devices have its
'struct device' parent, known as port->dev.  And when port->dev is a
platform device, it is destroyed in parport_pc_exit too.

Now, when parport_pc_unregister_port is called for a going port,
drv->detach(port) is called for every parport driver in the system.
ppdev can be one of them. ppdev's detach() tears down its per-port
sysfs directory, which established port->dev as a parent earlier.

But since parport_pc_exit kills port->dev parents before unregisters
ports proper, ppdev's sysfs directory has no living parent anymore.
This results in the following warning:

WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 785 at fs/sysfs/group.c:219 sysfs_remove_group+0x9b/0xa0

It is also easily reproducible on qemu with two dummy ports '-parallel
/dev/null -parallel /dev/null'.

So switch the order of killing the two structures. But since port is
freed by parport_pc_unregister_port, we have to remember port->dev
in a local variable.

Perhaps nothing worse than the warning happens thanks to the device
refcounting. We *should* be on the safe side.
