nci_unregister_device() destroys cmd_wq first and rx_wq second. Any
rx_work still running at that point can handle a response and queue
cmd_work from nci_rsp_packet(), which is refused because cmd_wq is
already draining:

  workqueue: cannot queue nci_cmd_work on wq nfc2_nci_cmd_wq
  WARNING: kernel/workqueue.c:2352 at __queue_work+0xdb7/0x1370 kernel/workqueue.c:2351, CPU#3: kworker/u32:0/12
  Workqueue: nfc2_nci_rx_wq nci_rx_work

   process_one_work+0xac7/0x1b10 kernel/workqueue.c:3396

nci_close_device() does not stop rx_work from running again
afterwards: when the device was never brought up it does not flush
rx_wq at all, and the driver can still deliver frames through
nci_recv_frame() until it has stopped calling it.

Destroy the queues in dependency order instead. rx_work queues
cmd_work and tx_work, so rx_wq goes first. The cmd and data timers
queue cmd_work and rx_work, and cmd_work and tx_work re-arm them, so
shut both timers down before any of the queues go away; after
timer_shutdown_sync() the re-arming is a no-op.

fix has not been runtime-tested
