NFC: add NCI_UNREG flag to eliminate the race

There are two sites that calls queue_work() after the
destroy_workqueue() and lead to possible UAF.

The first site is nci_send_cmd(), which can happen after the
nci_close_device as below

nfcmrvl_nci_unregister_dev   |  nfc_genl_dev_up
  nci_close_device           |
    flush_workqueue          |
    del_timer_sync           |
  nci_unregister_device      |    nfc_get_device
    destroy_workqueue        |    nfc_dev_up
    nfc_unregister_device    |      nci_dev_up
      device_del             |        nci_open_device
                             |          __nci_request
                             |            nci_send_cmd
                             |              queue_work !!!

Another site is nci_cmd_timer, awaked by the nci_cmd_work from the
nci_send_cmd.

  nci_unregister_device      |  queue_work
    destroy_workqueue        |
    nfc_unregister_device    |  ...
