Subject: [PATCH] media: rc: Fix use-after-free bugs caused by ene_tx_irqsim()

When the ene device is detaching, function ene_remove() will
be called. But there is no function to cancel tx_sim_timer
in ene_remove(), the timer handler ene_tx_irqsim() could race
with ene_remove(). As a result, the UAF bugs could happen,
the process is shown below.

    (cleanup routine)          |        (timer routine)
                               | mod_timer(&dev->tx_sim_timer, ..)
ene_remove()                   | (wait a time)
  kfree(dev) //FREE            |
                               | ene_tx_irqsim()
                               |   dev->hw_lock //USE
                               |   ene_tx_sample(dev) //USE

Fix by adding del_timer_sync(&dev->tx_sim_timer) in ene_remove(),
The tx_sim_timer could stop before ene device is deallocated.

This problem is found by static analysis.
