To make del_timer_sync() works we have to assure that timer function does not rearm the timer. To achieve that we cancel timer with STATUS_EXIT_PENDING bit set in __iwl{3945,}_down function. Patch also fix priv->txq memory usage after free for iwl3945, because it move timer cancellation before iwl3945_hw_txq_ctx_free(priv) is called.
