The error path in hinic3_qps_irq_init() calls disable_work_sync() to cancel
the DIM work before cleanup. However, hinic3_qps_irq_uninit() does not have
a corresponding cancel_work_sync() or disable_work_sync() call.
The DIM work is scheduled via net_dim()->schedule_work() from hinic3_poll().
If the interface is closed while DIM work is pending or running,
hinic3_rx_dim_work() could access rxq->netdev and rxq->q_id after the
queues have been torn down in hinic3_close_channel()->hinic3_qps_irq_uninit().
Should hinic3_qps_irq_uninit() call cancel_work_sync() for the DIM work
to prevent a potential use-after-free?
