In cedrus_probe, dev->watchdog_work is bound with cedrus_watchdog function.
In cedrus_device_run, it will started by schedule_delayed_work. If there is
unfinished work in cedrus_remove, there may be a race condition and trigger
UAF bug.

                    |cedrus_watchdog
cedrus_remove       |
  v4l2_m2m_release  |
  kfree(m2m_dev)    |
                    |
                    | v4l2_m2m_get_curr_priv
                    |   m2m_dev //use

Fix it by canceling the worker in cedrus_remove.
