Clear the timer whenever 'chan_rx' is cleared to avoid an OOPS.
Currently, the driver only runs the timer when 'chan_rx' is set before.
However, it is good defensive programming to make sure the hrtimer is
always stopped before clearing the 'chan_rx' pointer.

Locking needs to be double-checked here. This patch is mainly calling
for opinions.

Thanks for your patch!

I do think you need to cancel the timer: even when not restarting
the timer in sci_dma_rx_complete() due to a DMA failure, the previous
timer may still be running, and will cause a NULL pointer dereference
on s->chan_rx on timer expiry.

Is it safe to do this unconditionally on shutdown (cfr. the old check
for s->chan_rx_saved)?
