[PATCH] iseries_veth: Remove a FIXME WRT deletion of the ack_timer

Browse source

The iseries_veth driver has a timer which we use to send acks. When the
connection is reset or stopped we need to delete the timer.

Currently we only call del_timer() when resetting a connection, which means
the timer might run again while the connection is being re-setup. As it turns
out that's ok, because the flags the timer consults have been reset.

It's cleaner though to call del_timer_sync() once we've dropped the lock,
although the timer may still run between us dropping the lock and calling
del_timer_sync(), but as above that's ok.
