In the lapb module, the timers may run concurrently with other code in
this module, and there is currently no locking to prevent the code from
racing on "struct lapb_cb". This patch adds locking to prevent racing.

1. Add "spinlock_t lock" to "struct lapb_cb"; Add "spin_lock_bh" and
"spin_unlock_bh" to APIs, timer functions and notifier functions.

2. Add "bool t1timer_stop, t2timer_stop" to "struct lapb_cb" to make us
able to ask running timers to abort; Modify "lapb_stop_t1timer" and
"lapb_stop_t2timer" to make them able to abort running timers;
Modify "lapb_t2timer_expiry" and "lapb_t1timer_expiry" to make them
abort after they are stopped by "lapb_stop_t1timer", "lapb_stop_t2timer",
and "lapb_start_t1timer", "lapb_start_t2timer".

3. In lapb_unregister, change "lapb_stop_t1timer" and "lapb_stop_t2timer"
to "del_timer_sync" to make sure all running timers have exited.

4. In lapb_device_event, replace the "lapb_disconnect_request" call with
the content of "lapb_disconnect_request", to avoid trying to hold the
lock twice. When I do this, I removed "lapb_start_t1timer" because I
don't think it's necessary to start the timer when "NETDEV_GOING_DOWN".

I don't like the code redundancy this creates. Maybe you should move the
actual functionality from lapb_disconnect_request() to a
__lapb_disconnect_request(), and in lapb_disconnect_request() call this
function including locking around it and also in lapb_device_event
(without locking).

Calling lapb_start_t1timer() on a "NETDEV_GOING_DOWN" event does not
hurt and is correct from a protocol flow point of view after sending
the DISC.

Thanks! I created a new __lapb_disconnect_request function and the
code indeed looked cleaner. I'll send a new version.
