Subject: net: dsa: Fix cleanup resources upon module removal

From: Neil Armstrong <narmstrong@baylibre.com>

[ Upstream commit 04761890a7cec6a1ff9aafd909004da4fe8059db ]

The initial commit badly merged into the dsa_resume method instead
of the dsa_remove_dst method.
As consequence, the dst->master_netdev->dsa_ptr is not set to NULL on
removal and re-bind of the dsa device fails with error -17.
