power: supply: pm8916_lbc: Fix use-after-free for extcon in IRQ handler

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

power: supply: pm8916_lbc: Fix use-after-free for extcon in IRQ handler

Using the `devm_` variant for requesting IRQ _before_ the `devm_`
variant for allocating/registering the `extcon` handle, means that the
`extcon` handle will be deallocated/unregistered _before_ the interrupt
handler (since `devm_` naturally deallocates in reverse allocation
order). This means that during removal, there is a race condition where
an interrupt can fire just _after_ the `extcon` handle has been
freed, *but* just _before_ the corresponding unregistration of the IRQ
handler has run.

This will lead to the IRQ handler calling `extcon_set_state_sync()` with
a freed `extcon` handle. Which usually crashes the system or otherwise
silently corrupts the memory...

Fix this racy use-after-free by making sure the IRQ is requested _after_
the registration of the `extcon` handle.

CWE-416 Use After Free

The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
