[PATCH v2025.09.y 23/58] net: phy: mdio_bus: fix freeing of cdev name before devfs_remove

[Ahmad Fatoum <a.fatoum@pengutronix.de>]

devfs_remove acces struct cdev::name to do an unlink on the path in
/dev. This leads to a use-after-free inside mdio_bus_remove.

Reorder the free after devfs_remove to fix this. This is the way that
other drivers in tree that have /free.*cdev(\.|->)name/ do it.

Issue was detected by KASAN being active during kernel boot.

(cherry picked from commit 0a67f4f35d64aa25318640ec2858c75f46d9a986)
