Duoming Zhou 175302f6b7 mISDN: hfcpci: Fix use-after-free bug in hfcpci_softirq
The function hfcpci_softirq() is a timer handler. If it
is running, the timer_pending() will return 0 and the
del_timer_sync() in HFC_cleanup() will not be executed.
As a result, the use-after-free bug will happen. The
process is shown below:

    (cleanup routine)          |        (timer handler)
HFC_cleanup()                  | hfcpci_softirq()
 if (timer_pending(&hfc_tl))   |
   del_timer_sync()            |
 ...                           | ...
 pci_unregister_driver(hc)     |
  driver_unregister            |  driver_for_each_device
   bus_remove_driver           |   _hfcpci_softirq
    driver_detach              |   ...
     put_device(dev) //[1]FREE |
                               |    dev_get_drvdata(dev) //[2]USE

The device is deallocated is position [1] and used in
position [2].

Fix by removing the "timer_pending" check in HFC_cleanup(),
which makes sure that the hfcpci_softirq() have finished
before the resource is deallocated.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
