3.19.8-ckt20 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Oliver Neukum <oneukum@xxxxxxxx>
commit 1666984c8625b3db19a9abc298931d35ab7bc64b upstream.
In case bind() works, but a later error forces bailing
in probe() in error cases work and a timer may be scheduled.
They must be killed. This fixes an error case related to
the double free reported in
http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg367669.html
and needs to go on top of Linus' fix to cdc-ncm.
