Paulo Zanoni d9255d5714 drm/i915: destroy connector sysfs files earlier
For some reason, every single time I try to run module_reload
something tries to read the connector sysfs files. This happens
after we destroy the encoders and before we destroy the connectors, so
when the sysfs read triggers the connector detect() function,
intel_conector->encoder points to memory that was already freed.

The bad backtrace is just:
    [<ffffffff8163ca9a>] dump_stack+0x54/0x74
    [<ffffffffa00c2c8e>] intel_dp_detect+0x1e/0x4b0 [i915]
    [<ffffffffa001913d>] status_show+0x3d/0x80 [drm]
    [<ffffffff813d5340>] dev_attr_show+0x20/0x60
    [<ffffffff81221f50>] ? sysfs_read_file+0x80/0x1b0
    [<ffffffff81221f79>] sysfs_read_file+0xa9/0x1b0
    [<ffffffff811aaf1e>] vfs_read+0x9e/0x170
    [<ffffffff811aba4c>] SyS_read+0x4c/0xa0
    [<ffffffff8164e392>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b

But if you add tons of memory checking debug options to your Kernel
you'll also see:
 - general protection fault: 0000
 - BUG kmalloc-4096 (Tainted: G      D W   ): Poison overwritten
 - INFO: Allocated in intel_ddi_init+0x65/0x270 [i915]
 - INFO: Freed in intel_dp_encoder_destroy+0x69/0xb0 [i915]
Among a bunch of other error messages.

So this commit just destroys the sysfs files before both the encoder
and connectors are freed.
