media: i2c: ov7740: fix use-after-destroy in remove

The ov7740_remove() function had a severe teardown order bug where it
destroyed the driver's mutex before freeing the V4L2 control handler
which relies on that mutex, leading to a use-after-destroy kernel panic.
Furthermore, the driver explicitly called v4l2_ctrl_handler_free() and
mutex_destroy() sequentially, but then called ov7740_free_controls()
which invokes both of them a second time, resulting in a double-free.

This patch fixes the issue by unregistering the subdevice first, and
relying exclusively on ov7740_free_controls() to safely tear down the
mutex and control handler in the correct order.
