vc4_kms_load() calls drm_kms_helper_poll_init() but the driver provides
no matching drm_kms_helper_poll_fini(). The output poll work stays
scheduled after unbind and runs on the freed drm_device:

  # modprobe vc4; rmmod vc4; sleep 10
  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in delayed_work_timer_fn
  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in drm_client_dev_hotplug [drm]
  Workqueue: events output_poll_execute [drm_kms_helper]
  Allocated by task 171: __devm_drm_dev_alloc
  Freed by task 262 (rmmod): drm_dev_put / component_del

Use drmm_kms_helper_poll_init() so polling is finalized with the device,
as other drivers do.

Tested on a Raspberry Pi 400 (BCM2711), v7.2-11658-g26260251022f, with
KASAN: report gone, rmmod/insmod loop clean.

Applied, thanks!
