[PATCH] HID: microsoft: cancel the rumble work on removal

Commit 1cfc77a64b71 ("HID: microsoft: move FF initialization to
.input_configured()") removed ms_remove_ff() along with ms_init_ff(),
and with it the only cancel_work_sync() of ff_worker. Nothing waits for
the rumble work any more before devres frees struct ms_data and the
report buffer that the work fills in.

Removing the device queues the work itself: hid_hw_stop() unregisters
the input device, and if an effect is playing, input_ff_flush() stops
it through ms_play_effect(). The work usually runs before remove()
returns, but nothing guarantees it.

Cancel the work again after hid_hw_stop(), when the input device is gone
and nothing can queue it any more. Initialize it in ms_probe(), so that
it can be cancelled for devices without force feedback too.

Notes:
    Tested in QEMU on a next-20260925 KASAN kernel with uhid devices bound
    to hid-microsoft: an Xbox Wireless Controller (BT 045e:0b13) destroyed
    while a rumble effect was playing and its evdev node was open (20
    cycles), a Natural Ergonomic 4000 (no force feedback, 5 cycles), then
    rmmod. Tracing shows the removal queuing ff_worker. There are no
    warnings with or without this patch: I could not reproduce the
    use-after-free, as the work always ran before remove() returned. A W=1
    build is clean.
