    net: fixing a memory leak in if_deregister_com_alloc()
    
    Drain the callbacks upon if_deregister_com_alloc() such that the
    if_com_free[type] won't be nullified before if_destroy().
    
    Taking fwip(4) as an example, before this fix, kldunload if_fwip will
    go through the following:
    
      1. fwip_detach()
      2. if_free() -> schedule if_destroy() through NET_EPOCH_CALL
      3. fwip_detach() returns
      4. firewire_modevent(MOD_UNLOAD) -> if_deregister_com_alloc()
      5. kernel complains about:
            Warning: memory type fw_com leaked memory on destroy (1 allocations, 64 bytes leaked).
      6. EPOCH runs if_destroy() -> if_free_internal()i
    
    By this time, if_com_free[if_alloctype] is NULL since it's already
    nullified by if_deregister_com_alloc(); hence, firewire_free() won't
    have a chance to release the allocated fw_com.
