Duoming Zhou f8b4687151 octeontx2-pf: Fix use-after-free bugs in otx2_sync_tstamp()
The original code relies on cancel_delayed_work() in otx2_ptp_destroy(),
which does not ensure that the delayed work item synctstamp_work has fully
completed if it was already running. This leads to use-after-free scenarios
where otx2_ptp is deallocated by otx2_ptp_destroy(), while synctstamp_work
remains active and attempts to dereference otx2_ptp in otx2_sync_tstamp().
Furthermore, the synctstamp_work is cyclic, the likelihood of triggering
the bug is nonnegligible.

A typical race condition is illustrated below:

CPU 0 (cleanup)           | CPU 1 (delayed work callback)
otx2_remove()             |
  otx2_ptp_destroy()      | otx2_sync_tstamp()
    cancel_delayed_work() |
    kfree(ptp)            |
                          |   ptp = container_of(...); //UAF
                          |   ptp-> //UAF

This is confirmed by a KASAN report:

Replace cancel_delayed_work() with cancel_delayed_work_sync() to ensure
that the delayed work item is properly canceled before the otx2_ptp is
deallocated.

This bug was initially identified through static analysis. To reproduce
and test it, I simulated the OcteonTX2 PCI device in QEMU and introduced
artificial delays within the otx2_sync_tstamp() function to increase the
likelihood of triggering the bug.
