Subject: [PATCH] usb: phy: twl6030-usb: fix possible use-after-free on remove

In remove(), use cancel_delayed_work_sync() to cancel the
delayed work. Otherwise there's a chance that this work
will continue to run until after the device has been removed.

This issue was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
