Subject: [media] media: am437x-vpfe: Fix a race condition during release

From: Benoit Parrot <[email protected]>

commit c99235fa3ef833c3c23926085f2bb68851c8460a upstream.

There was a race condition where during cleanup/release operation on-going streaming would cause a kernel panic because the hardware module was disabled prematurely with IRQ still pending.
