[PATCH] net: usb: usbnet: fix use-after-free in race on workqueue

[Peter GJ. Park]

When usbnet_disconnect() queued while usbnet_probe() processing,
it results to free_netdev before kevent gets to run on workqueue,
thus workqueue does assign_work() with referencing freeed memory address.

For graceful disconnect and to prevent use-after-free of netdev pointer,
the fix adds canceling work and timer those are placed by usbnet_probe()
