[media] media: usbtv: prevent access to free'd resources
When disconnecting the usbtv device, the sound card is unregistered from ALSA and the snd member of the usbtv struct is set to NULL. If the usbtv snd_trigger work is running, this can cause a race condition where the kernel will attempt to access free'd resources, shown in [1]. This patch fixes the disconnection code by cancelling any snd_trigger work before unregistering the sound card from ALSA and checking that the snd member still exists in the work function.
