net/dst: dst_dev_event() called after other notifiers

Followup of commit ef885afb (net: use rcu_barrier() in
rollback_registered_many)

dst_dev_event() scans a garbage dst list that might be feeded by various
network notifiers at device dismantle time.

Its important to call dst_dev_event() after other notifiers, or we might
enter the infamous msleep(250) in netdev_wait_allrefs(), and wait one
second before calling again call_netdevice_notifiers(NETDEV_UNREGISTER,
dev) to properly remove last device references.

Use priority -10 to let dst_dev_notifier be called after other network
notifiers (they have the default 0 priority)
