The ordering of ptp_clock_unregister() is not ideal, as the chardev remains published while state is being torn down, which means userspace can race with the kernel teardown. There is also no cleanup of enabled pin settings nor of the internal PPS event, which means enabled events can still forward into the core, dereferencing a free'd pointer. Rework the ordering of cleanup in ptp_clock_unregister() so that we unpublish the posix clock (and user chardev), disable any pins that have EXTTS events enabled, disable the PPS event, and then clean up the aux work and PPS source. This avoids potential use-after-free and races in PTP clock driver teardown.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
