netdev-linux: Fix use-after-free when netdev_dump_queues() deletes queues.

iface_configure_qos() passes a callback to netdev_dump_queues() that can
delete queues.  The netdev-linux implementation of this function was
unprepared for the callback to delete queues, so this could cause a
use-after-free.  This fixes the problem in netdev_linux_dump_queues() and
documents that netdev_dump_queues() implementations must support deletions
in the callback.
