Subject: rocker: free netdevice during netdevice removal

From: Ido Schimmel <idosch@mellanox.com>

[ Upstream commit 1ebd47efa4e17391dfac8caa349c6a8d35f996d1 ]

When removing a port's netdevice in 'rocker_remove_ports', we should
also free the allocated 'net_device' structure. Do that by calling
'free_netdev' after unregistering it.
