Jiangshan Yi 1eeca1d5e0 wifi: brcmsmac: fix UAF in brcms_free_timer()
brcms_free_timer() calls brcms_del_timer() which uses the non-synchronous
cancel_delayed_work() to cancel the timer's underlying delayed work.  If
the work callback (_brcms_timer) is already running, cancel_delayed_work()
returns false without waiting, and brcms_free_timer() proceeds to kfree(t)
while the callback still accesses t through container_of().

Add an explicit cancel_delayed_work_sync() after brcms_del_timer() to
guarantee that any in-flight callback has completed before the timer
structure is freed.
