    s4: server: Fix crash in NTVFS server caused by ordering of destructor calls.
    
    In the NTVFS server we have the following talloc heirarchy:
    
                                       event_ctx
                                         |
            ---------------------------------------------------- .. other children
            |                       |                      |
         msg_dgm_ref              srv_conn            msg_dgm_ref
            ^                       |
            |                    NTVFS structures
            |                       |
            |                    XXXXXX
            |                       |
            |                       |
            --------------------- pointer to msg_dgm_ref
    
    Some of the structures under NTVFS (marked XXXXX) can have
    pointers to imessaging contexts which internally have pointers
    to msg_dgm_ref structurs allocated off event_ctx.
    
    The original code calls:
    
            model_ops->terminate(event_ctx, srv_conn->lp_ctx, reason);
            talloc_free(srv_conn);
    
    But model_ops->terminate() calls talloc_free(event_ctx) and
    then calls exit(). In this case srv_conn is never explicitly
    freed, but only freed as a talloc child of the event_ctx.
    
    Depending on the ordering of the linked list of talloc children
    under event_ctx(which can be reordered via talloc_free/reinit
    of msg_dgm_ref) a pointer to msg_dgm_ref under srv_conn can
    be left pointing to memory that was already freed. This pointer
    is then used in the destructor for a file object called when
    srv_conn is freed.
    
    Re-ordering this to explicitly call TALLOC_FREE(srv_conn) first
    and then model_ops->terminate() fixes this problem.
