net: qcom/emac: Fix use after free bug in emac_remove due to race condition
In emac_probe, &adpt->work_thread is bound with emac_work_thread. Then it will be started by timeout handler emac_tx_timeout or a IRQ handler emac_isr. If we remove the driver which will call emac_remove to make cleanup, there may be a unfinished work. The possible sequence is as follows: Fix it by finishing the work before cleanup in the emac_remove and disable timeout response.
