After cancel_work_sync() is called from espintcp_close(), 
espintcp_tx_work() can still be scheduled from paths such as 
the Delayed ACK handler or ksoftirqd.
As a result, the espintcp_tx_work() worker may dereference a 
freed espintcp ctx or sk.

To prevent this race condition, cancel_work_sync() is 
replaced with disable_work_sync().

Fixes: e27cca96cd68 ("xfrm: add espintcp (RFC 8229)")
