[PATCH net] net: wwan: iosm: cancel adb_timer on cleanup to avoid use-after-free

From: hyunjungg

From: Hyunjung Ko <hj351016@xxxxxxxxx>

ipc_imem holds five hrtimers. ipc_imem_cleanup() cancels four of them
(td_alloc_timer, tdupdate_timer, fast_update_timer and startup_timer)
but not adb_timer. adb_timer is armed at runtime from the MUX uplink
aggregation path (ipc_imem_adb_timer_start(), reached from the encode
path) whenever aggregation is active.

If the device is torn down (modem reset, PCIe unbind) while an
aggregation window is open, adb_timer can still be queued when
ipc_imem_cleanup() returns and ipc_imem is freed. When it then expires,
ipc_imem_adb_timer_cb() runs container_of() on the freed ipc_imem and
queues a task against it, a use-after-free.

Cancel adb_timer alongside the other hrtimers in ipc_imem_cleanup().

Found by static analysis; not tested on real hardware (needs an Intel
M.2 7360 WWAN modem).

Fixes: 1f52d7b62285 ("net: wwan: iosm: Enable M.2 7360 WWAN card support")
