[ofa-general] [PATCHv2] opensm/mesh/lash: Fix use after free problem in osm_mesh_node_delete

When osm_mesh_node_delete is called, osm_switch_delete may already have
been called so sw->p_sw is no longer valid to be used although it was
being used to obtain num_ports.

Fix this by performing osm_mesh_delete_switches at the end of lash_process.

Changes since v1:
Rather than saving num_ports in the mesh node structure on creation and using
this on deletion, mesh switches deletion should occur at end of the lash
calculation as none of this state is needed after that 
Approach proposed by Sasha
