nfp: make sure representors are destroyed before their lower netdev
App start/stop callbacks can perform application initialization. Unfortunately, flower app started using them for creating and destroying representors. This can lead to a situation where lower vNIC netdev is destroyed while representors still try to pass traffic. This will most likely lead to a NULL-dereference on the lower netdev TX path. Move the start/stop callbacks, so that representors are created/ destroyed when vNICs are fully initialized.
