sixpack_close does unregister_netdev(sp->dev), which frees sp as sp is
actually allocated via alloc_netdev()

Then deletes two timers within sp

Then frees two buffers indexed off sp

The mkiss driver also appears to share the same bug and references
ax->rbuff/xbuff after they have been freed, and then writes to ax->tty.
