[lvc-project] [PATCH 5.10/5.15] mmc: core: Cancel SDIO IRQ work before freeing host

commit 6feadbecdae60a6324c967f3b1493741083793a3 upstream.

A host controller that uses sdio_signal_irq() schedules host->sdio_irq_work
from its interrupt handler.  That work is only cancelled on the suspend
path (mmc_sdio_suspend()), not on the remove/free path, so a worker armed
just before the controller freed its IRQ can run after
mmc_host_classdev_release() has freed the host and dereference it through
container_of().

Cancel host->sdio_irq_work in mmc_free_host(), like the existing
host->detect drain added by commit 1036f69e2513 ("mmc: core: Cancel
delayed work before releasing host").

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

[ mdmitrichenko: sdio_irq_work is still a delayed_work here, it became
  a plain work_struct only with commit 1dd611a9c55f ("mmc: core: Switch
  to basic workqueue API for sdio_irq_work"), so use
  cancel_delayed_work_sync() instead of cancel_work_sync(). ]
