[PATCH net] drivers: net: can: Fix deadlock in grcan_close()

[Duoming Zhou]

There are deadlocks caused by del_timer_sync(&priv->hang_timer)
and del_timer_sync(&priv->rr_timer) in grcan_close(), one of
the deadlocks are shown below:

   (Thread 1)              |      (Thread 2)
                           | grcan_reset_timer()
grcan_close()              |  mod_timer()
 spin_lock_irqsave() //(1) |  (wait a time)
 ...                       | grcan_initiate_running_reset()
 del_timer_sync()          |  spin_lock_irqsave() //(2)
 (wait timer to stop)      |  ...

We hold priv->lock in position (1) of thread 1 and use
del_timer_sync() to wait timer to stop, but timer handler
also need priv->lock in position (2) of thread 2.
As a result, grcan_close() will block forever.

This patch extracts del_timer_sync() from the protection of
spin_lock_irqsave(), which could let timer handler to obtain
the needed lock.
