nfc: st-nci: Fix use after free bug in ndlc_remove due to race condition

This bug influences both st_nci_i2c_remove and st_nci_spi_remove.
Take st_nci_i2c_remove as an example.

In st_nci_i2c_probe, it called ndlc_probe and bound &ndlc->sm_work
with llt_ndlc_sm_work.

When it calls ndlc_recv or timeout handler, it will finally call
schedule_work to start the work.

When we call st_nci_i2c_remove to remove the driver, there
may be a sequence as follows:

Fix it by finishing the work before cleanup in ndlc_remove

CPU0                  CPU1

                    |llt_ndlc_sm_work
st_nci_i2c_remove   |
  ndlc_remove       |
     st_nci_remove  |
     nci_free_device|
     kfree(ndev)    |
//free ndlc->ndev   |
                    |llt_ndlc_rcv_queue
                    |nci_recv_frame
                    |//use ndlc->ndev
