net: qcom/emac: Fix use after free bug in emac_remove due to race condition

Browse source

[ Upstream commit 6b6bc5b8bd ]

In emac_probe, &adpt->work_thread is bound with
emac_work_thread. Then it will be started by timeout
handler emac_tx_timeout or a IRQ handler emac_isr.

If we remove the driver which will call emac_remove
  to make cleanup, there may be a unfinished work.

The possible sequence is as follows:

Fix it by finishing the work before cleanup in the emac_remove
and disable timeout response.
