[PATCH] media: rp1-cfe: Fix double-free on video device re-registration

When a sensor driver is unloaded and reloaded (e.g., rmmod/insmod ov5647),
the cfe_async_complete callback is invoked again, attempting to re-register
video nodes that are still registered. This causes multiple issues:
1. KASAN double-free in kfree_const when dev_set_name tries to free the
kobject name that was already freed during video_unregister_device
2. "tried to init an initialized object" warnings because the video_device
kobject is re-initialized before being fully released
Fix this by:
- Adding a check in cfe_probe_complete() to skip nodes already in
NODE_REGISTERED state, preventing duplicate registration attempts
- Implementing cfe_async_unbind() callback to properly clear the
source_sd pointer when the subdevice is unbound
