media: streamzap: fix race between device disconnection and urb callback



Syzkaller has reported a general protection fault at function
ir_raw_event_store_with_filter(). This crash is caused by a NULL pointer
dereference of dev->raw pointer, even though it is checked for NULL in
the same function, which means there is a race condition. It occurs due
to the incorrect order of actions in the streamzap_disconnect() function:
rc_unregister_device() is called before usb_kill_urb(). The dev->raw
pointer is freed and set to NULL in rc_unregister_device(), and only
after that usb_kill_urb() waits for in-progress requests to finish.

If rc_unregister_device() is called while streamzap_callback() handler is
not finished, this can lead to accessing freed resources. Thus
rc_unregister_device() should be called after usb_kill_urb().

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Syzkaller.
