Subject: [PATCH] IB/hfi1: Shutdown self-rearming timers before freeing

The HFI1 receive error and synthetic counter timers rearm themselves from
their callbacks. Their cleanup paths use timer_delete_sync(), which only
waits for a running callback and does not prevent a concurrent or
subsequent rearm.

Use timer_shutdown_sync() when releasing these timers. This prevents a
callback from enqueueing either timer after cleanup begins, before the
containing hfi1_devdata is freed.

Preserve the existing work cancellation and workqueue destruction ordering
for synthetic counters.
