pcan_usb arms pdev->restart_timer from pcan_usb_restart_pending() (the
restart-command URB completion) during CAN bus-off auto-restart; the
timer callback pcan_usb_restart() obtains the pcan_usb via container_of()
and calls peak_usb_restart_complete(&pdev->dev).

Unlike the other PEAK USB adapters, pcan_usb provides no dev_stop
callback, so restart_timer is never cancelled on teardown. When the
interface is brought down or the USB device is disconnected,
peak_usb_ndo_stop() / unregister_candev() tear the device down and
free_candev() frees the peak_usb_device (and the containing pcan_usb)
without deleting restart_timer. A restart timer still pending then fires
pcan_usb_restart() against the freed pcan_usb (use-after-free).

Add a pcan_usb dev_stop callback that deletes restart_timer, so it is
drained on ndo_stop() - which unregister_candev() invokes on disconnect
while the interface is up. pcan_usb_restart() does not re-arm the timer,
so a single timer_delete_sync() drains it.

Found by static analysis and code review; not tested on real hardware
(needs a PEAK PCAN-USB adapter and a bus-off auto-restart racing unbind).
