Julia Lawall 02f2d5a066 hsr: replace del_timer by del_timer_sync
Use del_timer_sync to ensure that the timer is stopped on all CPUs before
the driver exists.

This change was suggested by Thomas Gleixner.

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:

Joe Perches e83abe37ba hsr: Use ether_addr_copy
It's slightly smaller/faster for some architectures.
Make sure def_multicast_addr is __aligned(2)

Arvid Brodin f421436a59 net/hsr: Add support for the High-availability Seamless Redundancy protocol (HSRv0)
High-availability Seamless Redundancy ("HSR") provides instant failover
redundancy for Ethernet networks. It requires a special network topology where
all nodes are connected in a ring (each node having two physical network
interfaces). It is suited for applications that demand high availability and
very short reaction time.

HSR acts on the Ethernet layer, using a registered Ethernet protocol type to
send special HSR frames in both directions over the ring. The driver creates
virtual network interfaces that can be used just like any ordinary Linux
network interface, for IP/TCP/UDP traffic etc. All nodes in the network ring
must be HSR capable.

This code is a "best effort" to comply with the HSR standard as described in
IEC 62439-3:2010 (HSRv0).
