Subject: [PATCH v3] Input: powermate - fix use-after-free in
 powermate_config_complete

syzbot has found a use-after-free bug [1] in the powermate driver. This
happens when the device is disconnected, which leads to a memory free
from the powermate_device struct.
When an asynchronous control message completes after the kfree and its
callback is invoked, the lock does not exist anymore and hence the bug.

Use usb_kill_urb() on pm->config to cancel any in-progress requests upon
device disconnection.
