net: usb: lan78xx: reorder cleanup operations to avoid UAF bugs
The timer dev->stat_monitor can schedule the delayed work dev->wq and
the delayed work dev->wq can also arm the dev->stat_monitor timer.
When the device is detaching, the net_device will be deallocated. but
the net_device private data could still be dereferenced in delayed work
or timer handler. As a result, the UAF bugs will happen.
Although we use cancel_delayed_work_sync() to cancel the delayed work
in lan78xx_disconnect(), it could still be scheduled in timer handler
lan78xx_stat_monitor().
Although we use del_timer_sync() to delete the timer, the function
timer_pending() returns 0 when the timer is activated. As a result,
the del_timer_sync() will not be executed and the timer could be
re-armed.
In order to mitigate this bug, We use timer_shutdown_sync() to shutdown
the timer and then use cancel_delayed_work_sync() to cancel the delayed
work. As a result, the net_device could be deallocated safely.
What's more, the dev->flags is set to EVENT_DEV_DISCONNECT in
lan78xx_disconnect(). But it could still be set to EVENT_STAT_UPDATE
in lan78xx_stat_monitor(). So this patch put the set_bit() behind
timer_shutdown_sync().

Tearing down timers which have circular dependencies to other
functionality, e.g. workqueues, where the timer can schedule work and work
can arm timers, is not trivial.
In those cases it is desired to shutdown the timer in a way which prevents
rearming of the timer. The mechanism to do so is to set timer->function to
NULL and use this as an indicator for the timer arming functions to ignore
the (re)arm request.
Expose new interfaces for this: timer_shutdown_sync() and timer_shutdown().
timer_shutdown_sync() has the same functionality as timer_delete_sync()
plus the NULL-ification of the timer function.
timer_shutdown() has the same functionality as timer_delete() plus the
NULL-ification of the timer function.
In both cases the rearming of the timer is prevented by silently discarding
rearm attempts due to timer->function being NULL.

del_timer_sync() is assumed to be pointless on uniprocessor systems and can
be mapped to del_timer() because in theory del_timer() can never be invoked
while the timer callback function is executed.
This is not entirely true because del_timer() can be invoked from interrupt
context and therefore hit in the middle of a running timer callback.
Contrary to that del_timer_sync() is not allowed to be invoked from
interrupt context unless the affected timer is marked with TIMER_IRQSAFE.
del_timer_sync() has proper checks in place to detect such a situation.
Give up on the UP optimization and make del_timer_sync() unconditionally
available.
