[PATCH] thunderbolt: Fix domain reference leak on DPRX work cancel

[David Medina via B4 Relay <devnull+b2amedina.gmail.com@kernel.org>]

From: David Medina <b2amedina@gmail.com>

tb_dp_dprx_start() takes an additional reference to the domain with
tb_domain_get() and passes it as callback_data to tb_tunnel_alloc_dp().
That reference is only released by the callback, tb_dp_tunnel_active(),
which tb_dp_dprx_work() invokes once the DPRX capabilities read completes
or times out.

If the tunnel is deactivated before the DPRX work runs to completion,
tb_dp_dprx_stop() cancels the still pending work. The callback is then
never called and the domain reference held in callback_data leaks. The
domain's reference count never reaches zero, so tb_domain_release() never
runs and a subsequent shutdown/reboot hangs waiting for the domain to be
released.

Release the callback_data domain reference in tb_dp_dprx_stop() when the
DPRX work is canceled, mirroring the release done by the callback.
