Subject: [PATCH V2] mISDN: fix use-after-free bugs in l1oip timer handlers

The l1oip_cleanup() traverses the l1oip_ilist and calls
release_card() to cleanup module and stack. However,
release_card() calls del_timer() to delete the timers
such as keep_tl and timeout_tl. If the timer handler is
running, the del_timer() will not stop it and result in
UAF bugs. One of the processes is shown below:

    (cleanup routine)          |        (timer handler)
release_card()                 | l1oip_timeout()
 ...                           |
 del_timer()                   | ...
 ...                           |
 kfree(hc) //FREE              |
                               | hc->timeout_on = 0 //USE

Fix by calling del_timer_sync() in release_card(), which
makes sure the timer handlers have finished before the
resources, such as l1oip and so on, have been deallocated.

What's more, the hc->workq and hc->socket_thread can kick
those timers right back in. We use del_timer_sync(&hc->keep_tl)
and cancel_work_sync(&hc->keep_tl) twice to stop keep_tl timer
and hc->workq. Then, we add del_timer_sync(&hc->timeout_tl)
behind l1oip_socket_close() to stop timeout_tl timer.

Changes in v2:
  - Solve the problem that timers could be restarted by other threads.
