[PATCH 10/11] arch: xtensa: platforms: Fix deadlock in iss_net_close()

[Duoming Zhou]

There is a deadlock in iss_net_close(), which is shown
below:

   (Thread 1)              |      (Thread 2)
                           | iss_net_open()
iss_net_close()            |  mod_timer()
 spin_lock_bh() //(1)      |  (wait a time)
 ...                       | iss_net_timer()
 del_timer_sync()          |  spin_lock() //(2)
 (wait timer to stop)      |  ...

We hold lp->lock in position (1) of thread 1 and use
del_timer_sync() to wait timer to stop, but timer handler
also need lp->lock in position (2) of thread 2. As a result,
iss_net_close() will block forever.

This patch extracts del_timer_sync() from the protection of
spin_lock_bh(), which could let timer handler to obtain
the needed lock.
