The delay handler callback was canceled after unregistered interrupt handler
and the interrupt handler callback was unregistered after disabled uio. So I
added the call after rte_intr_callback_unregister.

I am not sure if we can add the disable uio, unregister interrupt handler at
the beginning of dev_close.

Thanks
