Agree, thanks to capture this.

I think it will be more safe to move this call ahead,
the delayed handler may invoked application callback which may also invoke the ethdev API, but at this moment, we already reset ethdev, we still have chance to get problem, right?
Is it better that we add this call at the beginning of dev_close?
