[PATCH net] bridge: stp: Fix a potential use-after-free when deleting a bridge

[Ido Schimmel]

The three STP timers are not supposed to be armed while the bridge is
administratively down. They are synchronously deactivated when the
bridge is put administratively down and the various call sites check for
'IFF_UP' before arming them.

This check is missing from br_topology_change_detection() and it is
possible to engineer a situation in which the topology change timer is
armed while the bridge is administratively down, resulting in a
use-after-free [1] when the bridge is deleted.

Fix by adding the missing check and for good measures synchronously
shutdown the three timers when the bridge is deleted.
