Subject: [PATCH 4.9 47/60] xen-netfront: Delete rx_refill_timer in xennet_disconnect_backend()

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Boris Ostrovsky <boris.ostrovsky@...cle.com>

commit 74470954857c264168d2b5a113904cf0cfd27d18 upstream.

rx_refill_timer should be deleted as soon as we disconnect from the
backend since otherwise it is possible for the timer to go off before
we get to xennet_destroy_queues(). If this happens we may dereference
queue->rx.sring which is set to NULL in xennet_disconnect_backend().
