net: seeq: Fix use after free vulnerability in ether3 Driver Due to Race Condition

[ Upstream commit b5109b6 ]

In the ether3_probe function, a timer is initialized with a callback
function ether3_ledoff, bound to &prev(dev)->timer. Once the timer is
started, there is a risk of a race condition if the module or device
is removed, triggering the ether3_remove function to perform cleanup.
The sequence of operations that may lead to a UAF bug is as follows:

CPU0                                    CPU1

                      |  ether3_ledoff
ether3_remove         |
  free_netdev(dev);   |
  put_devic           |
  kfree(dev);         |
 |  ether3_outw(priv(dev)->regs.config2 |= CFG2_CTRLO, REG_CONFIG2);
                      | // use dev

Fix it by ensuring that the timer is canceled before proceeding with
the cleanup in ether3_remove.
