liquidio: fix kernel panic in VF driver
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) . . .

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.
