Subject: [BUGFIX 2/2] gdth: bugfix for the Timer at exit crash


gdth _exit would first remove all cards then stop the timer
and would not sync with the timer function. This caused a crash
in gdth_timer() when module was unloaded.

del_timer_sync the timer before we delete the cards.

NOT YET TESTED
