PCI: Fix use-after-free in pci_bus_release_domain_nr()

Commit c14f7ccc9f5d ("PCI: Assign PCI domain IDs by ida_alloc()")
introduced a use-after-free bug in the bus removal cleanup. The issue was
found with kfence:

The stack trace is a bit misleading as dw_pcie_host_deinit() doesn't
directly call pci_bus_release_domain_nr(). The issue turns out to be in
pci_remove_root_bus() which first calls pci_remove_bus() which frees the
struct pci_bus when its struct device is released. Then
pci_bus_release_domain_nr() is called and accesses the freed struct
pci_bus. Reordering these fixes the issue.
