drivers: net: hippi: Fix deadlock in rr_close() 

There is a deadlock in rr_close(), which is shown below:

   (Thread 1)                |      (Thread 2)
                             | rr_open()
rr_close()                   |  add_timer()
 spin_lock_irqsave() //(1)   |  (wait a time)
 ...                         | rr_timer()
 del_timer_sync()            |  spin_lock_irqsave() //(2)
 (wait timer to stop)        |  ...

We hold rrpriv->lock in position (1) of thread 1 and
use del_timer_sync() to wait timer to stop, but timer handler
also need rrpriv->lock in position (2) of thread 2.
As a result, rr_close() will block forever.

This patch extracts del_timer_sync() from the protection of
spin_lock_irqsave(), which could let timer handler to obtain
the needed lock.
