[media] rc-main: clear rc_map.name in ir_free_table()

rc_unregister_device() will first call ir_free_table(), and later
device_del(); however, the latter causes a call to rc_dev_uevent(),
which prints rc_map.name, which at this point has already bee freed.

This fixes a use-after-free bug found with KASAN.

As reported by Shuah:

 "I am seeing the following when I do rmmod on au0828
