Subject: [net PATCH 1/1] drivers: net: cpsw: remove cpsw_ale_stop from cpsw_ale_destroy

when cpsw is build as modulea and simple insert and removal of module
creates a deadlock, due to delete timer. the timer is created and destroyed
in cpsw_ale_start and cpsw_ale_stop which are from device open and close.
