[PATCH] firmware: imx: Fix device context UAF in close

[Harshit Mogalapalli]

se_if_fops_close() frees dev_ctx while still inside a
scoped_cond_guard() that holds dev_ctx->fops_lock. During the cleanup
phase it would do a mutex_unlock(dev_ctx->fops_lock) leading to UAF.

Fix it by freeing dev_ctx only after leaving the guarded scope.
