When disconnecting the usbtv device, the sound card is unregistered
from ALSA and the snd member of the usbtv struct is set to NULL. If
the usbtv snd_trigger work is running, this can cause a race condition
where the kernel will attempt to access free'd resources, shown in
[1].
This patch fixes the disconnection code by cancelling any snd_trigger
work before unregistering the sound card from ALSA and checking that
the snd member still exists in the work function.
