[Intel-wired-lan] [next PATCH S81-V3 4/9] i40evf: release bit locks in reverse order

From: Jacob Keller <jacob.e.keller at intel.com>

Although not strictly necessary, it is customary to reverse the order in
which we release locks that we acquire. This helps preserve lock
ordering during future refactors, which can help avoid potential
deadlock situations.
