[PATCH] net: calxeda: fix race condition in xgmac_remove due to unfinshed work

[Zheng Wang]

In xgmac_probe, the priv->tx_timeout_work is bound with 
xgmac_tx_timeout_work. In xgmac_remove, if there is an 
unfinished work, there might be a race condition that 
priv->base was written byte after iounmap it.

Fix it by finishing the work before cleanup.

This should go to net branch, so title should be:

 [PATCH net] net: calxeda: fix race condition in xgmac_remove due to unfinshed work

From history commit, it seems more common to use "net: calxedaxgmac" instead of
"net: calxeda", I am not sure which one is better.

Also there should be a Fixes tag for net branch, maybe:

Fixes: 8746f671ef04 ("net: calxedaxgmac: fix race between xgmac_tx_complete and xgmac_tx_err")

It seems the blow function need to stop the dev_watchdog() from
calling dev->netdev_ops->ndo_tx_timeout before calling
cancel_work_sync(&priv->tx_timeout_work), otherwise the
dev_watchdog() may trigger the priv->tx_timeout_work to run again.

	netif_tx_disable(ndev);

typo error:
unfinshed -> unfinished

Got it. Will correct it in the next version of patch.

Yes, I was eager to report the fix and ignored that. Thanks for
pointing that out.

Yes, I agree with that. Thanks for your advice. I learned a lot from it.
