Staging: asus_oled: fix NULL-ptr crash on unloading

Asus_oled triggers the following bug on module unloading:

 usbcore: deregistering interface driver asus-oled
 BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000038
 IP: [<ffffffff8111292b>] sysfs_delete_link+0x30/0x66

 Call Trace:

  [<ffffffff813699bb>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b

This is due to an incorrect destruction sequence in asus_oled_exit().

Fix the order, fixes the bug. Tested on an Asus G50V laptop only.
