[PATCH v2] HID: uclogic: fix use-after-free of inrange_timer on remove

[Ibrahim Hashimov]

uclogic_remove() cancels the pen in-range timer and then stops the
device:

	timer_delete_sync(&drvdata->inrange_timer);
	hid_hw_stop(hdev);

timer_delete_sync() only guarantees the timer is idle at that instant.
uclogic_raw_event_pen() keeps delivering pen reports until hid_hw_stop()
stops the transport several lines later, and every report with
pen->inrange == UCLOGIC_PARAMS_PEN_INRANGE_NONE re-arms the timer:

	mod_timer(&drvdata->inrange_timer, jiffies + msecs_to_jiffies(100));

A report landing between the timer_delete_sync() call and the transport
teardown in hid_hw_stop() re-arms inrange_timer after it was cancelled.
uclogic_remove() then returns and the devm drvdata is freed, while
hid_hw_stop() has already freed the input device drvdata->pen_input
points at, so when the timer fires ~100 ms later
uclogic_inrange_timeout() dereferences freed memory -- a use-after-free
in timer-softirq context.

Swapping the two calls is not a fix: stopping the device first frees
drvdata->pen_input via hidinput_disconnect() while the timer may still
be pending, so a timer already armed before removal fires on the freed
input device in the window before timer_delete_sync() runs.

Use timer_shutdown_sync() before hid_hw_stop() instead. It cancels the
timer, waits for a running callback while pen_input is still valid, and
prevents any further re-arming -- a later mod_timer() from an in-flight
report is silently ignored -- so the timer is provably dead before
hid_hw_stop() frees the inputs. This is the ordering the timer core
documents for this "timer re-armed from another path" teardown case.

v2: v1 reordered hid_hw_stop() before timer_delete_sync(), which traded
    the re-arm use-after-free for one on the freed input device (thanks
    to sashiko-bot for spotting it). Keep the original order and use
    timer_shutdown_sync() to disarm the timer, which closes the re-arm
    race without ever touching pen_input after it is freed.
