thingm_remove_rgb() needs to flush the workqueue after all the LED classes 
have been unregistered, otherwise the removal might race with another LED 
event coming, causing thingm_led_set() to schedule additional work after 
thingm_remove_rgb() has flushed it. This obviously causes oops later, as 
the scheduled work has been freed in the meantime.

In addition to that, move the hid_hw_stop() to an earlier place, so that 
dmesg is not polluted by failure messages about not being able to write 
the LED while the device is being shut down.
