[PATCH] iio: at91-sama5d2_adc: Fix use after free bug in at91_adc_remove due to race condition

In at91_adc_probe, &st->touch_st.workq is bound with
at91_adc_workq_handler. Then it will be started by irq
handler at91_adc_touch_data_handler

If we remove the driver which will call at91_adc_remove
  to make cleanup, there may be a unfinished work.

The possible sequence is as follows:

Fix it by finishing the work before cleanup in the at91_adc_remove

CPU0                  CPU1

                    |at91_adc_workq_handler
at91_adc_remove     |
iio_device_unregister|
iio_dev_release     |
kfree(iio_dev_opaque);|
                    |
                    |iio_push_to_buffers
                    |&iio_dev_opaque->buffer_list
                    |//use
