Subject: [PATCH] ucc_geth: Fix hung tasks.

We noticed a few hangs like this:

INFO: task ifconfig:572 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.
ifconfig      D 0ff65760     0   572    369 0x00000000

I THINK this is due to a missing cancel_work_sync in the driver
although we cannot be sure. I found this by comparing
ucc_geth with gianfar.
