kgdb: Don't call the deinit under spinlock

Browse Source 
When I combined kgdboc_earlycon with an inflight patch titled ("soc:
qcom-geni-se: Add interconnect support to fix earlycon crash") [1]
things went boom.  Specifically I got a crash during the transition
between kgdboc_earlycon and the main kgdboc that looked like this:

The problem was that we were holding the "kgdb_registration_lock"
while calling into code that didn't expect to be called in spinlock
context.

Let's slightly defer when we call the deinit code so that it's not
done under spinlock.

NOTE: this does mean that the "deinit" call of the old kgdb IO module
is now made _after_ the init of the new IO module, but presumably
that's OK.
