    net: Move mutex_unlock() in cleanup_net() up
    
    ms commit bcab1ddd9b2b
    
    net_sem protects from pernet_list changing, while
    ops_free_list() makes simple kfree(), and it can't
    race with other pernet_operations callbacks.
    
    So we may release net_mutex earlier then it was.
