[PATCH] net/nfb: fix use after free

With the annotations added to the allocation functions,
more issues are detected at compilation time:

nfb_rx.c:133:28: error: pointer 'rxq' used after 'rte_free'

It is fixed by moving the assignment before freeing the parent pointer.

Fixes: 80da7efbb4c4 ("eal: annotate allocation functions")
