[PATCH v3 3/5] liveupdate: fix u-a-f in luo_file_unpreserve_files() and luo_file_finish()

In luo_file_unpreserve_files() and luo_file_finish(), reorder
module_put() and xa_erase() to ensure the file handler module remains
pinned while its operations are being accessed.
Specifically, luo_get_id() dereferences fh->ops->get_id, so the module
reference must be held until after xa_erase() (which calls luo_get_id)
completes.
For luo_file_finish(), this requires moving the module_put() call out of
the luo_file_finish_one() helper and into the main loop of
luo_file_finish() itself.
Fixes: 00d0b372374f ("liveupdate: prevent double management of files")
