[PATCH] media: mediatek: vcodec: unregister VPU watchdog handler

mtk_vcodec_fw_vpu_init() registers a VPU watchdog reset handler and
passes the vcodec device as the private data.

The handler is stored in the VPU device and can outlive the vcodec
device. If firmware initialization fails after the handler has been
registered, or if the vcodec device is later removed, the VPU watchdog
table can keep a pointer to a vcodec device that is about to be released.
A later VPU watchdog reset can then call the reset handler with a stale
pointer and dereference freed memory while walking the vcodec context
list.

Add a VPU watchdog unregister helper and clear the vcodec watchdog
handler from both the firmware initialization failure path and the VPU
firmware release path before dropping the VPU device reference.

Fixes: 01abf5fbb081 ("media: mediatek: vcodec: separate struct 'mtk_vcodec_ctx'")
