Jakub Kicinski 326ce60301 nfp: make sure representors are destroyed before their lower netdev 
App start/stop callbacks can perform application initialization.
Unfortunately, flower app started using them for creating and
destroying representors.  This can lead to a situation where
lower vNIC netdev is destroyed while representors still try
to pass traffic.  This will most likely lead to a NULL-dereference
on the lower netdev TX path.

Move the start/stop callbacks, so that representors are created/
destroyed when vNICs are fully initialized.

Fixes: 5de73ee467 ("nfp: general representor implementation")
