linker: Avoid invoking eventhandlers on incompletely loaded files
We do not invoke the kld_load eventhandler until after the file is fully
linked, so don't invoke the kld_unload_try or kld_unload event handlers
unless the file is fully linked either.
In my case, the dtrace SDT kld_unload_try handler was running before
relocations were processed against the file, and that caused problems
when sdt_kld_unload_probes() accesses elements of a linker set.
Move the kld_unload handler invocation earlier, to after sysuninits have
been run. This is a bit more consistent with the kld_load handler.
