media: saa7134: fix use after free bug in saa7134_finidev due to race condition



[ Upstream commit 30cf57da176cca80f11df0d9b7f71581fe601389 ]

In saa7134_initdev, it will call saa7134_hwinit1. There are three
function invoking here: saa7134_video_init1, saa7134_ts_init1
and saa7134_vbi_init1.

All of them will init a timer with same function. Take
saa7134_video_init1 as an example. It'll bound &dev->video_q.timeout
with saa7134_buffer_timeout.

In buffer_activate, the timer funtcion is started.

If we remove the module or device which will call saa7134_finidev
to make cleanup, there may be a unfinished work. The
possible sequence is as follows, which will cause a
typical UAF bug.

Fix it by canceling the timer works accordingly before cleanup in
saa7134_finidev.

                    |saa7134_buffer_timeout
saa7134_finidev     |
  kfree(dev);       |
                    |
                    | saa7134_buffer_next
                    | //use dev
