Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mmc: mtk-sd: Cancel request timeout work on remove

The driver queues req_timeout while a request is active.
msdc_request_done() uses cancel_delayed_work(), which does not wait for
a timeout callback that has already started.

The timeout callback calls mmc_request_done(), which wakes the request
waiter, and then continues to use host->dev_comp and check the SDIO IRQ.
During unbind, msdc_drv_remove() can return and the managed mmc_host can
be freed before the callback finishes.

KASAN reported use-after-free accesses in msdc_request_done() and
msdc_recheck_sdio_irq() in each of three unbind tests. The same tests
completed without a kernel diagnostic after this change.

Call cancel_delayed_work_sync() after mmc_remove_host() has stopped new
requests and before the driver releases the host resources.
