xen: Swap order of actions in the FREE*() macros

Wherever possible, it is a good idea to NULL out the visible reference to an
object prior to freeing it.  The FREE*() macros already collect together both
parts, making it easy to adjust.

This has a marginal code generation improvement, as some of the calls to the
free() function can be tailcall optimised.

No functional change.
