[PATCH] s2255: Do not free fw_data until timer handler has actually stopped using it

[PATCH] s2255: Do not free fw_data until timer handler has actually stopped using it

[Kirill Tkhai]

Function del_timer() does not guarantee that timer was really deleted.
If the timer handler is beeing executed at the moment, the function
does nothing. So, we have a race between del_timer() and kfree(), and
it's possible to use already freed memory in the handler.

This is compile-tested only. Please, consider applying or something like it.

[Should CC stable@ ?]
