There is no need to kill tasklet when driver's probe fails because tasklet can't be scheduled at this time. It is also cleaner to kill tasklet on channel's freeing rather than to kill it on driver's removal, otherwise tasklet could perform a dummy execution after channel's releasing, which isn't very nice.
