From: Brian Norris <briannorris@google.com>

It's possible to trigger use-after-free here by:
(a) forcing rescan_work_func() to take a long time and
(b) utilizing a pwrctrl driver that may be unloaded for some reason.

I'm unlucky to trigger both of these in development. It's likely much
more difficult to hit this in practice.

Anyway, we should ensure our work is finished before we allow our data
structures to be cleaned up.
