[PATCH] iwlegacy/4965: Cancel deferred work on device init failure

[Wentao Liang <vulab@iscas.ac.cn>]

In __il4965_up(), deferred work is not canceled in time when device
initialization fails. This is harmless if the device has not started.
However, in il4965_bg_restart(), if the device remains operational
in any state other than S_FW_ERROR or S_EXIT_PENDING, a dereference
operation needs to be performed when __il4965_up() fails.

Add il4965_cancel_deferred_work() to the failure path of
__il4965_up() to prevent potential errors. Even if the current code
does not exhibit the described issues, adding this change can prevent
future problems at minimal cost, improving the robustness of the code.
