[PATCH v3 1/2] HID: sensor: custom: Fix use-after-free in enable_sensor

[Haoxiang Li]

enable_sensor_store() can call set_power_report_state(), which
dereferences sensor_inst->power_state and sensor_inst->report_state.
These pointers refer to entries in sensor_inst->fields.

Create the field attributes before exposing the enable_sensor sysfs
attribute, so enable_sensor cannot be accessed before the state it
depends on has been initialized.

On remove, delete enable_sensor before freeing the field attributes,
so a concurrent sysfs write cannot dereference freed memory through
power_state or report_state.
