Subject: netfilter: x_tables: fix missing timer initialization in xt_LED

From: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>

commit 10414014bc085aac9f787a5890b33b5605fbcfc4 upstream.

syzbot reported that xt_LED may try to use the ledinternal->timer
without previously initializing it:

The ledinternal struct can be shared between several different
xt_LED targets, but the related timer is currently initialized only
if the first target requires it. Fix it by unconditionally
initializing the timer struct.

v1 -> v2: call del_timer_sync() unconditionally, too.
