Fix data race in EventHandlerBase (ros2#2349)

Both the EventHandler and its associated pubs/subs share
the same underlying rmw event listener.
When a pub/sub is destroyed, the listener is destroyed.
There is a data race when the ~EventHandlerBase wants
to access the listener after it has been destroyed.

The EventHandler stores a shared_ptr of its associated pub/sub.
But since we were clearing the listener event callbacks on the
base class destructor ~EventHandlerBase, the pub/sub was
already destroyed, which means the rmw event listener was also
destroyed, thus causing a segfault when trying to obtain it
to clear the callbacks.

Clearing the callbacks on ~EventHandler instead of
~EventHandlerBase avoids the race, since the pub/sub are still valid.
