Schspa Shi ab0377803d mrp: introduce active flags to prevent UAF when applicant uninit
The caller of del_timer_sync must prevent restarting of the timer, If
we have no this synchronization, there is a small probability that the
cancellation will not be successful.

And syzbot report the fellowing crash:

To fix it, we can introduce a new active flags to make sure the timer will
not restart.

README

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.
