Today I re-visit this issue and find all exiting drivers except for
drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core and drivers/net/ethernet/huawei/hinic
call devlink_health_reporter_destroy before devlink_unregister. I guess
I happened to look at mlx5 and hinic as the examples before.

I also examine devlink_unregister and devlink_health_reporter_destroy
and find they devlink_health_reporter_destroy doesn't need struct devlink.

But I will change the order in v1 anyway.
