ldmvsw: unregistering netdev before disable hardware
When running LDom binding/unbinding test, kernel may panic in ldmvsw_open(). It is more likely that because we're removing the ldc connection before unregistering the netdev in vsw_port_remove(), we set up a window of time where one process could be removing the device while another trying to UP the device. This also sometimes causes vio handshake error due to opening a device without closing it completely. We should unregister the netdev before we disable the "hardware".
