9p/xen : Fix use after free bug in xen_9pfs_front_remove due to race condition
In xen_9pfs_front_probe, it calls xen_9pfs_front_alloc_dataring to init priv->rings and bound &ring->work with p9_xen_response. When it calls xen_9pfs_front_event_handler to handle IRQ requests, it will finally call schedule_work to start the work. When we call xen_9pfs_front_remove to remove the driver, there may be a sequence as follows: Fix it by finishing the work before cleanup in xen_9pfs_front_free. Note that, this bug is found by static analysis, which might be false positive.
