[ Upstream commit aa28667cfbe4ff6f14454dda210b1f2e485f99b5 ]

Doing ifconfig down on VF driver in the middle of receiving line rate
traffic causes a kernel panic:

    LiquidIO_VF 0000:02:00.3: should not come here should not get rx when poll mode = 0 for vf
    BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at           (null)
    .

    ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt

Reason is:  in the function assigned to net_device_ops->ndo_stop, the steps
for bringing down the interface are done in the wrong order.  The step that
notifies the NIC firmware to stop forwarding packets to host is done too
late.  Fix it by moving that step to the beginning.
