Subject: [PATCH net 2/2] ravb: Fix use-after-free issue in ravb_remove and ravb_tx_timeout_work

The ravb_stop() should call cancel_work_sync(). Otherwise,
ravb_tx_timeout_work() is possible to use the freed priv after
ravb_remove() was called like below:

CPU0			CPU1
			ravb_tx_timeout()
ravb_remove()
unregister_netdev()
free_netdev(ndev)
// free priv
			ravb_tx_timeout_work()
			// use priv

unregister_netdev() will call .ndo_stop() so that ravb_stop() is
called. And, after phy_stop() was called, netif_carrier_off()
is also called. So that .ndo_tx_timeout() will be not called
after phy_stop().
