[PATCH v2] media: hantro: fix use after free bug in hantro_remove due to race condition

In hantro_probe, vpu->watchdog_work is bound with
hantro_watchdog. Then hantro_end_prepare_run may
be called to start the work.

If we remove the module which will call hantro_remove
to make cleanup, there may be an unfinished work.
The possible sequence is as follows, which will
cause a typical UAF bug.

Fix it by canceling the work before cleanup in hantro_remove.

CPU0                  CPU1

                    |hantro_watchdog
hantro_remove     |
  v4l2_m2m_release  |
    kfree(m2m_dev); |
                    |
                    | v4l2_m2m_get_curr_priv
                    |   m2m_dev->curr_ctx //use
