In adv7511_probe, adv7511->hpd_work is bound with adv7511_hpd_work.
adv7511_irq_process might be called to start the work.

If we call adv7511_remove with an unfinished work. There may be a
race condition. Here is the possible sequence:

CPU0                  CPU1

                     |adv7511_hpd_work
adv7511_remove       |
cec_devnode_release  |
cec_unregister_adapter|
cec_devnode_unregister|
put_device(&devnode->dev);|
cec_devnode_release	|
cec_delete_adapter  |
kfree(adap);		|
                     |cec_phys_addr_invalidate
                     |//use adap

Fix it by canceling the work before cleanup in adv7511_remove.

This is the patch with new title in order to clarify the bug. Old patch
is here. The root cause is the same as old one.
