hwmon: (peci/dimmtemp) Fix devres leak and UAF on concurrent unbind

When a peci_dimmtemp device is unbound concurrently with its delayed
initialization work (detect_work), newly allocated devm resources and
the hwmon device are leaked, leading to a use-after-free when reading
the lingering hwmon sysfs attributes.

In peci_dimmtemp_probe(), detect_work is registered for cancellation via
devm_delayed_work_autocancel(). During driver detach, devres_release_all()
first moves all existing entries from dev->devres_head onto a local todo
list before invoking their release callbacks in reverse order. If
create_dimm_temp_info_delayed() is already running when
devm_delayed_work_drop() calls cancel_delayed_work_sync(),
create_dimm_temp_info() can allocate dimmtemp_label strings via
devm_kzalloc()/devm_kasprintf() and register the hwmon device via
devm_hwmon_device_register_with_info(), appending new devres entries to
the now-empty dev->devres_head. Once the work finishes,
devres_release_all() frees priv and priv->name from the local todo list
without re-evaluating dev->devres_head, leaving the late devres
allocations and registered hwmon device behind with a dangling priv
pointer.

Cancel detect_work synchronously in a driver .remove() callback instead
of relying on devm_delayed_work_autocancel() so that the work is fully
drained before devres_release_all() detaches dev->devres_head, allowing
any devm resources registered by the delayed work to be released in
proper reverse order. Also only schedule detect_work when
check_populated_dimms() returns -EAGAIN so that probe failure paths do
not leave delayed work pending.
