Subject: [PATCH 5.3 156/344] media: cec-notifier: clear cec_adap in cec_notifier_unregister

From: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil-cisco@...all.nl>

[ Upstream commit 14d5511691e5290103bc480998bc322e68f139d4 ]

If cec_notifier_cec_adap_unregister() is called before
cec_unregister_adapter() then everything is OK (and this is the
case today). But if it is the other way around, then
cec_notifier_unregister() is called first, and that doesn't
set n->cec_adap to NULL.

So if e.g. cec_notifier_set_phys_addr() is called after
cec_notifier_unregister() but before cec_unregister_adapter()
then n->cec_adap points to an unregistered and likely deleted
cec adapter. So just set n->cec_adap->notifier and n->cec_adap
to NULL for rubustness.

Eventually cec_notifier_unregister will disappear and this will
be simplified substantially.
