From: Tristan Madani <tristan@talencesecurity.com>

The PCAN-USB adapter uses a restart_timer for bus error recovery
but does not define a dev_free callback.  When the device is
unplugged, peak_usb_disconnect() frees the candev without cancelling
the timer.  If the restart URB completion handler
pcan_usb_restart_pending() has armed the timer and USB disconnect
races with the timer callback, the timer fires on freed memory.

Add a pcan_usb_free() callback that calls timer_shutdown_sync() on
the restart_timer and register it as the adapter dev_free handler so
that peak_usb_disconnect() drains the timer before freeing the
device.

Found by code review.

Changes in v3:
- Restrict fix to disconnect path per Stéphane Grosjean (init-failure
  path is addressed by his peak_usb series [1])
- Fix container_of to fit on one line
- Add discovery method per netdev-bot request

Changes in v2:
- Use timer_shutdown_sync() instead of del_timer_sync() to prevent
  rearming
