[media] media: usbtv: prevent access to free'd resources
[ Upstream commit 2a00932f082aff93c3a55426e0c7af6d0ec03997 ] When disconnecting the usbtv device, the sound card is unregistered from ALSA and the snd member of the usbtv struct is set to NULL. If the usbtv snd_trigger work is running, this can cause a race condition where the kernel will attempt to access free'd resources, shown in [1]. This patch fixes the disconnection code by cancelling any snd_trigger work before unregistering the sound card from ALSA and checking that the snd member still exists in the work function.
