hwmon: (gpio-fan) Fix use-after-free in alarm work

fan_alarm_irq_handler() queues fan_data->alarm_work, but nothing
cancels it.  fan_alarm_notify() dereferences fan_data and its hwmon
device.  On unbind, devres frees the interrupt, which only waits for
the handler itself, and then releases the hwmon device and fan_data,
so a pending fan_alarm_notify() can run after those frees.

Replace INIT_WORK() with devm_work_autocancel(), registered before
devm_request_irq().  The devres cleanup then frees the interrupt
first, so no new work can be queued, and cancels the work while
fan_data and the hwmon device are still alive.

This issue was found by an in-house static analysis tool.
