[PATCH v2 0/2] HID: sensor: custom: Fix fields lifetime issues

Hi,

This series fixes lifetime issues around sensor_inst->fields and the
sysfs attributes that can access it.

The first patch fixes the remove path by removing enable_sensor before
freeing the field attributes. enable_sensor_store() can dereference
power_state and report_state, which point into sensor_inst->fields.

The second patch fixes the original field sysfs group leak on probe
failure. It creates the field attributes before exposing enable_sensor,
then unwinds any field groups that were created before a later
sysfs_create_group() failure.

Thanks, Jiri, for the review and for pointing out the UAF concern.

Changes in v2:
- Split the fix into two patches.
- Fix the pre-existing remove path ordering issue.
- Create field attributes before exposing enable_sensor.
- Unwind already-created field sysfs groups on failure.
