Subject: [PATCH v7] usb: gadget: udc: renesas_usb3: Fix use after free bug in renesas_usb3_remove due to race condition

In renesas_usb3_probe, role_work is bound with renesas_usb3_role_work.
renesas_usb3_start will be called to start the work.

If we remove the driver which will call usbhs_remove, there may be
an unfinished work. The possible sequence is as follows:

Fix it by canceling the work before cleanup in the renesas_usb3_remove.

Note that removing a driver is a root-only operation, and should never
happen.

kfree(sw) |
free usb3->role_sw |
| usb_role_switch_set_role
| //use usb3->role_sw

This bug was found by static analysis.
