Subject: [PATCH net v2] net: qcom/emac: Fix use after free bug in emac_remove due to  race condition

In emac_probe, &adpt->work_thread is bound with
emac_work_thread. Then it will be started by timeout
handler emac_tx_timeout or a IRQ handler emac_isr.

If we remove the driver which will call emac_remove
  to make cleanup, there may be a unfinished work.

The possible sequence is as follows:

Fix it by finishing the work before cleanup in the emac_remove
and disable timeout response.

                    |emac_work_thread
emac_remove         |
free_netdev         |
kfree(netdev);      |
                    |emac_reinit_locked
                    |emac_mac_down
                    |//use netdev
