9p/xen : Fix use after free bug in xen_9pfs_front_remove due to race condition

In xen_9pfs_front_probe, it calls xen_9pfs_front_alloc_dataring
to init priv->rings and bound &ring->work with p9_xen_response.

When it calls xen_9pfs_front_event_handler to handle IRQ requests,
it will finally call schedule_work to start the work.

When we call xen_9pfs_front_remove to remove the driver, there
may be a sequence as follows:

Fix it by finishing the work before cleanup in xen_9pfs_front_free.

Note that, this bug is found by static analysis, which might be
false positive.
