TX devmem bindings (NETDEV_CMD_BIND_TX) have no bound RX queues, so
mp_dmabuf_devmem_uninstall() never runs when binding->dev or
binding->vdev unregisters. As a result, binding->dev and binding->vdev
dangle pointing to freed struct net_device memory, and the dma_buf
remains attached and mapped after device removal.

Closing the netlink socket after netdev unregistration dereferences the
freed struct net_device in netdev_nl_sock_priv_destroy():

  BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffff88824ca9b000
  Oops: Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN NOPTI
  RIP: 0010:netdev_nl_sock_priv_destroy+0xbd/0x1e0

Extend net_devmem_dev_unregister() to TX bindings, including ones
whose netlink socket is already closed but which TCP retransmits keep
alive:
- When binding->dev (the physical DMA-capable device) unregisters,
  clear the binding's NET_DEVMEM_BINDING_LIVE mark and both
  binding->dev and binding->vdev, and unmap the dma_buf under
  binding->lock. No grace period is needed: the device is already
  closed, so nothing hands the DMA addresses to the hardware anymore,
  and concurrent senders only compare against binding->dev.
- When only binding->vdev (virtual device) unregisters while
  binding->dev lives, only clear binding->vdev so no new TX sends match
  the virtual device while allowing in-flight TX packets on binding->dev
  to finish DMA safely.

v4:
- Detach and unmap TX bindings directly from the xarray walk, without a
  grace period or a second pass (Stanislav).

v3:
- Detach all matching TX bindings first, then call synchronize_net()
  once before unmapping them, instead of once per binding. Don't wait
  for a grace period when only binding->vdev is cleared, since vdev is
  never dereferenced (Sashiko).
- Don't detach TX bindings when the device only moves to another netns
  (Sashiko).

v2:
- Build on the net_devmem_dev_unregister() walk from the previous patch,
  so unbound TX bindings are also detached (Sashiko). Clear the
  binding's LIVE mark instead of erasing its ID.
- The walk holds net_devmem_lock, which the final free also takes
  before erasing the binding, instead of using RCU and
  percpu_ref_tryget(), so it no longer takes a binding reference
  (Stanislav).
