[PATCH 2/3] media: verisilicon: hantro: cancel watchdog work before m2m release

Each job arms vpu->watchdog_work, cancelled only by the
job-completion path. If a job stalls, hantro_remove() drops the last
reference to vpu->m2m_dev via v4l2_m2m_put() with the watchdog still
pending, and hantro_watchdog() then dereferences the freed m2m_dev --
a use-after-free.

Drain the watchdog before the m2m device is released.
