[PATCH 20/80] ip2: avoid add_timer with pending timer

From: Akinobu Mita <akinobu.mita@gmail.com>

add_timer() is not suppose to be called when the timer is pending.
ip2 driver attempts to avoid that condition by setting and resetting
a flag (TimerOn) in timer function. But there is some gap between
add_timer() and setting TimerOn.

This patch fix this problem by using mod_timer() and remove TimerOn
which has been unnecessary by this change.
