[PATCH ver2] gdth: bugfix for the at-exit problems

From: Boaz Harrosh
Date: Wed Feb 13 2008 - 11:36:58 EST



gdth_exit would first remove all cards then stop the timer
and would not sync with the timer function. This caused a crash
in gdth_timer() when module was unloaded.
So del_timer_sync the timer before we delete the cards.

also a reboot notifier function was registered but is
not needed anymore. And would crash. So remove gdth_halt
and the reboot notifier registration.
