drbd: remove /proc/drbd before unregistering from netlink

Browse Source 
There still exists a (theoretical) race on module unload, where
/proc/drbd may still exist, but the netlink callback has been
unregistered already, allowing drbdsetup to shout without listeners,
and get no reply.

Reorder remove_proc_entry and unregister of netlink callback.
drbdsetup first checks for existence of the proc entry,
and if that is missing, won't even try to contact the module.
