Asus_oled triggers the following bug on module unloading:

 usbcore: deregistering interface driver asus-oled
 BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000038

This is due to an incorrect destruction sequence in asus_oled_exit().

Fix the order, fixes the bug. Tested on an Asus G50V laptop only.
