Dmitry Torokhov ef166ce088 Input: stop force-feedback timer when unregistering input devices
Memoryless force-feedback devices use a timer to manage playback of
effects. When a driver for such a device is unbound (or the device is
unregistered for other reasons), the driver typically frees its private
data synchronously. However, the input_dev structure (and its associated
force-feedback structures, including the timer) is only freed when the
last user closes the corresponding device node.

If userspace keeps the device node open while the device is unregistered
(e.g., during driver unbind), the force-feedback timer can still fire
after the driver's private data has been freed.

Introduce a new 'stop' callback to struct ff_device, and call it from
input_unregister_device() before the device is deleted. Implement this
callback for memoryless devices and synchronously shut down the timer to
ensure it is stopped and cannot be rearmed once unregistration happens.
