NFC: reorganize the functions in nci_request

There is a possible data race as shown below:

thread-A in nci_request()       | thread-B in nci_close_device()
                                | mutex_lock(&ndev->req_lock);
test_bit(NCI_UP, &ndev->flags); |
...                             | test_and_clear_bit(NCI_UP, &ndev->flags)
mutex_lock(&ndev->req_lock);    |
                                |

This race will allow __nci_request() to be awaked while the device is
getting removed.

Similar to commit e2cb6b89 ("bluetooth: eliminate the potential race
condition when removing the HCI controller"). this patch alters the
function sequence in nci_request() to prevent the data races between the
nci_close_device().
