We have to set user as an anonymous user when logging out. Then we can use
$token->getUser()->getRoles(); in controller or {% if is_granted('ROLE_USER') %} in the twig template.

use Symfony\Component\Security\Core\Authentication\Token\AnonymousToken;
...
//$providerKey = $this->container->getParameter('fos_user.firewall_name');
$token = new AnonymousToken($providerKey, 'anon.');
$this->get('security.context')->setToken($token);
$this->get('request')->getSession()->invalidate();
