mtd: rawnand: r852: prevent card work from being requeued during shutdown

This commit replaces cancel_delayed_work_sync() with
disable_delayed_work_sync() in r852_shutdown() so card_detect_work cannot
be requeued before interrupts are disabled.

[Severity: High]
This problem wasn't introduced by this patch, but can
r852_update_card_detect() [1] race with r852_irq() on
R852_CARD_IRQ_ENABLE and unmask disabled interrupts?

drivers/mtd/nand/raw/r852.c:r852_update_card_detect() {
	int card_detect_reg = r852_read_reg(dev, R852_CARD_IRQ_ENABLE);
	...
	r852_write_reg(dev, R852_CARD_IRQ_ENABLE, card_detect_reg);
}

card_detect_work calls r852_update_card_detect(), which performs this
read-modify-write without holding dev->irqlock:

CPU0 (kworker)                    CPU1 (<hardirq>)
r852_card_detect_work()
  r852_update_card_detect()
    reg = r852_read_reg(...)
                                  r852_irq()
                                    spin_lock_irqsave(&dev->irqlock)
                                    r852_disable_irqs()
                                      r852_write_reg(...)
                                    spin_unlock_irqrestore(&dev->irqlock)
    r852_write_reg(..., reg)  <-- overwrites masked IRQs

When the worker writes back its stale value, it re-enables interrupts
that r852_irq() just masked, which can trigger an IRQ storm.
