Subject: [PATCH v4 3/5] HID: bigben: use spinlock to safely schedule
 workers

Use spinlocks to deal with workers introducing a wrapper
bigben_schedule_work(), and several spinlock checks.
Otherwise, bigben_set_led() may schedule bigben->worker after the
structure has been freed, causing a use-after-free.

Fixes: 4eb1b01de5b9 ("HID: hid-bigbenff: fix race condition for scheduled work during removal")
