Thomas Gleixner e28ceeb10c net/3com/3c515: Fix timer handling, prevent leaks and crashes
The timer handling in this driver is broken in several ways:

- corkscrew_open() initializes and arms a timer before requesting the
  device interrupt. If the request fails the timer stays armed.

  A second call to corkscrew_open will unconditionally reinitialize the
  quued timer and arm it again. Also a immediate device removal will leave
  the timer queued because close() is not called (open() failed) and
  therefore nothing issues del_timer().

  The reinitialization corrupts the link chain in the timer wheel hash
  bucket and causes a NULL pointer dereference when the timer wheel tries
  to operate on that hash bucket. Immediate device removal lets the link
  chain poke into freed and possibly reused memory.

  Solution: Arm the timer after the successful irq request.

- corkscrew_close() uses del_timer()

  On close the timer is disarmed with del_timer() which lets the following
  code race against a concurrent timer expiry function.

  Solution: Use del_timer_sync() instead

- corkscrew_close() calls del_timer() unconditionally

  del_timer() is invoked even if the timer was never initialized. This
  works by chance because the struct containing the timer is zeroed at
  allocation time.

  Solution: Move the setup of the timer into corkscrew_setup().
