7.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Haoxiang Li <[email protected]>

commit ad8fb82b04422f49530d2aa2753cc81d1c60102c upstream.

enable_sensor_store() can call set_power_report_state(), which
dereferences sensor_inst->power_state and sensor_inst->report_state.
These pointers refer to entries in sensor_inst->fields.

Create the field attributes before exposing the enable_sensor sysfs
attribute, so enable_sensor cannot be accessed before the state it
depends on has been initialized.

On remove, delete enable_sensor before freeing the field attributes,
so a concurrent sysfs write cannot dereference freed memory through
power_state or report_state.
