AI review found another race; the close needs to happen after the
removal. Like this:

Subject: [PATCH] net/nbl: fix use-after-free
When unmapping a device, the device is not removed from TAILQ, which may
result in attempting to access this devices' data during subsequent mem
event callbacks (as they are only disabled once all devices are removed).
Remove the device from TAILQ on unmap to fix it, and close the device
fd under the same lock so a callback cannot use a stale fd number.
Fixes: dc955cd24c8f ("net/nbl: add coexistence mode")
