[PATCH v3] auxdisplay: charlcd: cancel backlight work on registration failure

[Hongyan Xu <getshell@seu.edu.cn>]

With CONFIG_CHARLCD_BL_FLASH, charlcd_init() schedules bl_work before
charlcd_register() calls misc_register(). If registration fails, the
caller frees the charlcd object while delayed work still contains its
address.

Add charlcd_deinit() to cancel the delayed work and turn the backlight
off. Use it for both registration rollback and normal unregistration.

Fixes: 39f8ea46724e ("auxdisplay: charlcd: Extract character LCD core from misc/panel")

  charlcd_unregister() (Andy, Geert).
- Add the Fixes tag (Andy).
