[PATCH v4] 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 close the file or remove the module which will
call hantro_release and hantro_remove to make cleanup,
there may be an unfinished work. The possible sequence
is as follows, which will cause a typical UAF bug.

The same thing will happen in hantro_release, and use
ctx after freeing it.

Fix it by canceling the work before cleanup in hantro_release.

CPU0                  CPU1

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