syzbot reported the splat below [0] without a repro.
It indicates that struct nci_dev.cmd_wq had been destroyed before
nci_close_device() was called via rfkill.
nci_dev.cmd_wq is only destroyed in nci_unregister_device(), which
(I think) was called from virtual_ncidev_close() when syzbot close()d
an fd of virtual_ncidev.
The problem is that nci_unregister_device() destroys nci_dev.cmd_wq
first and then calls nfc_unregister_device(), which removes the
device from rfkill by rfkill_unregister().
So, the device is still visible via rfkill even after nci_dev.cmd_wq
is destroyed.
Let's unregister the device from rfkill first in nci_unregister_device().
Note that we cannot call nfc_unregister_device() before
nci_close_device() because
1) nfc_unregister_device() calls device_del() which frees
all memory allocated by devm_kzalloc() and linked to
ndev->conn_info_list
2) nci_rx_work() could try to queue nci_conn_info to
ndev->conn_info_list which could be leaked
Thus, nfc_unregister_device() is split into two functions so we
can remove rfkill interfaces only before nci_close_device().
