xirc2ps_cs: Fix use after free bug in xirc2ps_detach
[ Upstream commit e8d20c3ded59a092532513c9bd030d1ea66f5f44 ]
In xirc2ps_probe, the local->tx_timeout_task was bounded
with xirc2ps_tx_timeout_task. When timeout occurs,
it will call xirc_tx_timeout->schedule_work to start the
work.
When we call xirc2ps_detach to remove the driver, there
may be a sequence as follows:
Stop responding to timeout tasks and complete scheduled
tasks before cleanup in xirc2ps_detach, which will fix
the problem.
