Olivier Fourdan 6e0f332ba4 dix: Dequeue pending events on frozen device on removal
When a device is removed while still frozen, the events queued for that
device remain while the device itself is freed.

As a result, replaying the events will cause a use after free.

To avoid the issue, make sure to dequeue and free any pending events on
a frozen device when removed.

CVE-2025-26600, ZDI-CAN-25871
