In cxacru_unbind(), cancel_delayed_work_sync() was conditionally skipped when poll_state was CXPOLL_STOPPED. However, a work item previously scheduled when poll_state was CXPOLL_POLLING may still be pending in the workqueue at the time poll_state transitions to CXPOLL_STOPPED. Skipping cancel_delayed_work_sync() in this case allows the work to fire after cxacru_data is freed, causing a use-after-free when cxacru_poll_status() attempts to acquire instance->poll_state_serialize. Fix this by always calling cancel_delayed_work_sync() regardless of poll_state, ensuring no pending or in-flight work can access the freed instance.
