3.16.42-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Boris Ostrovsky <boris.ostrovsky@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 74470954857c264168d2b5a113904cf0cfd27d18 upstream.
rx_refill_timer should be deleted as soon as we disconnect from the
backend since otherwise it is possible for the timer to go off before
we get to xennet_destroy_queues(). If this happens we may dereference
queue->rx.sring which is set to NULL in xennet_disconnect_backend().

[bwh: Backported to 3.16: del_timer_sync() was called from xennet_remove()
but that's also too late]
