stm32_csi_parse_dt() registers the V4L2 async notifier with
v4l2_async_nf_register(). Two teardown paths fail to undo this:
- The probe error label err_cleanup is only reached after
stm32_csi_parse_dt() has succeeded (and thus registered the
notifier), but it calls only v4l2_async_nf_cleanup(), never
v4l2_async_nf_unregister().
- stm32_csi_remove() unregisters the subdev but never unregisters or
cleans up the notifier at all.
In both cases the notifier stays chained in the global notifier_list
while the enclosing struct stm32_csi_dev is freed by devres, leading to
list corruption and a use-after-free when the list is next walked.
Unregister and clean up the notifier on both paths, matching the
required v4l2_async_nf_unregister() + v4l2_async_nf_cleanup() teardown.
