ms_play_effect() schedules ms->ff_worker to send the force-feedback
report. ms is devm-allocated, so it is freed only after ms_remove()
returns. Commit 1cfc77a64b71 ("HID: microsoft: move FF initialization
to .input_configured()") dropped the cancel_work_sync(&ms->ff_worker)
call that the remove path previously had, so an ff_worker scheduled just
before the device goes away can still run after ms (and ms->hdev,
ms->output_report_dmabuf) has been freed -- a use-after-free.
Cancel ff_worker before hid_hw_stop() in ms_remove(), restoring the
teardown the driver had before the FF-init rework (and matching
hid-bigbenff). cancel_work_sync() is safe even if ff_worker was never
initialized: ms is zero-allocated, so the work reads as idle.
Fixes: 1cfc77a64b71 ("HID: microsoft: move FF initialization to .input_configured()")
