ipmi_si_intf: Fix race in timer shutdown handling
smi_mod_timer() enables the timer before setting timer_running. This means the timer can be running when we get to stop_timer_and_thread() without timer_running having been set, resulting in del_timer_sync() not being called and the timer being left to cause havoc during shutdown. Instead just call del_timer_sync() unconditionally Signed-off-by: Jes Sorensen <jsorensen@fb.com> Message-Id: <20190828203625.32093-2-Jes.Sorensen@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard <cminyard@mvista.com>
