Subject: [PATCH] media: rtl2832: fix use-after-free in rtl2832_remove()
Author: kartikey406@gmail.com

#syz test: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git master


cancel_delayed_work_sync() is called before i2c_mux_del_adapters()
in rtl2832_remove(). If i2c_mux_del_adapters() triggers any I2C
transfers through the mux adapter, rtl2832_deselect() will be called
which reschedules i2c_gate_work via schedule_delayed_work(). This
re-arms the timer after it was cancelled, causing a use-after-free
when kfree(dev) is called and the timer later fires on freed memory.

Fix this by moving cancel_delayed_work_sync() to after
i2c_mux_del_adapters(), ensuring the cancellation is the last
operation before kfree(dev).
