ms_play_effect() schedules ms->ff_worker to send the force-feedback
report; ms (and ms->output_report_dmabuf) is devm-allocated and freed
after ms_remove() returns, and the work was never cancelled on teardown,
so ms_ff_worker() could run against freed memory.
hid_hw_stop() in ms_remove() unregisters the input device, whose teardown
(input_ff_flush() -> ms_play_effect()) re-queues ff_worker, and a work
left running after ll_driver->stop() would also issue an output report on
an already-stopped transport. Disable the work with disable_work_sync()
*before* hid_hw_stop(), so it is drained while the transport is still live
and cannot be re-queued during teardown.
ff_worker was only INIT_WORK()'d in ms_input_configured() for
force-feedback devices, so initialise it unconditionally in ms_probe()
(making disable_work_sync() always valid) and also disable it on the
hid_hw_start() error path, whose unwind can likewise schedule it.
Not runtime-tested (requires MS force-feedback hardware).
