Subject: [PATCH 4.16 030/196] media: rc: oops in ir_timer_keyup after device unplug

4.16-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sean Young <sean@...s.org>

commit 8d4068810d9926250dd2435719a080b889eb44c3 upstream.

If there is IR in the raw kfifo when ir_raw_event_unregister() is called,
then kthread_stop() causes ir_raw_event_thread to be scheduled, decode
some scancodes and re-arm timer_keyup. The timer_keyup then fires when
the rc device is long gone.
