Russell King reported:

"When removing and reloading the etnaviv module, the following splat
occurs:

sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/platform/etnaviv'

Commit 246774d17fc0 ("drm/etnaviv: remove the need for a gpu-subsystem
DT node") introduced DRM registration via
platform_device_register_simple(), but missed to call
platform_device_unregister() inside etnaviv_exit().

Fix the problem by calling platform_device_unregister() inside
etnaviv_exit(). While at it, also rearrange the function calls
in the exit path to make them happen in the opposite order of
registration.

Tested on a imx6-sabresd board.

Changes since v3:
- By setting etnaviv_drm only when platform_device_register_simple()
succeeds in the previous patch we can
call platform_device_unregister(etnaviv_drm) unconditionally, which makes
the code simpler (Philipp).
