power: supply: bq27xxx: Fix poll_interval handling and races on remove
Before this patch bq27xxx_battery_teardown() was setting poll_interval = 0
to avoid bq27xxx_battery_update() requeuing the delayed_work item.
There are 2 problems with this:
1. If the driver is unbound through sysfs, rather then the module being
rmmod-ed, this changes poll_interval unexpectedly
2. This is racy, after it being set poll_interval could be changed
before bq27xxx_battery_update() checks it through
/sys/module/bq27xxx_battery/parameters/poll_interval
Fix this by added a removed attribute to struct bq27xxx_device_info and
using that instead of setting poll_interval to 0.
There also is another poll_interval related race on remove(), writing
/sys/module/bq27xxx_battery/parameters/poll_interval will requeue
the delayed_work item for all devices on the bq27xxx_battery_devices
list and the device being removed was only removed from that list
after cancelling the delayed_work item.
Fix this by moving the removal from the bq27xxx_battery_devices list
to before cancelling the delayed_work item.
