Following chamges try to fix the memory leak reported by Sashiko
Pre-existing issues:
- [Critical] The `sess->esparser_queue_work` work item is not canceled
before freeing the session context, leading to a potential Use-After-Free
vulnerability.
- [High] The patch attempts to fix a memory leak reported by kmemleak,
but misdiagnoses the root cause and leaves the primary memory leak
(the V4L2 control handler) unresolved.
- [High] The driver does not verify if `kthread_run()` returns an `ERR_PTR`,
leading to a kernel panic when `kthread_stop()` is called.
