vpu_core_unregister() frees core->msg_buffer before cancelling the message
workers, although core->msg_fifo still uses the buffer as its backing
storage. A queued worker can read it after it has been freed.
Drain the core and instance message work first, then release core->vpu
and the FIFO buffer. This follows the ordering in vpu_core_suspend().

An open video instance holds a plain pointer to its devm-allocated core.
Unbinding the core or its parent through sysfs can release that memory
while the instance remains open. A later ioctl or close then uses the
stale pointer.
The video file operations pin the module, but sysfs unbind bypasses that
protection. Suppress manual bind and unbind for both platform drivers,
and warn if core removal ever encounters a live instance.
