The flower_stats_timer can schedule flower_stats_work and
flower_stats_work can also arm the flower_stats_timer. The
process is shown below:

----------- timer schedules work ------------
ch_flower_stats_cb() //timer handler
  schedule_work(&adap->flower_stats_work);

----------- work arms timer ------------
ch_flower_stats_handler() //workqueue callback function
  mod_timer(&adap->flower_stats_timer, ...);

When the cxgb4 device is detaching, the timer and workqueue
could still be rearmed. The process is shown below:

  (cleanup routine)           | (timer and workqueue routine)
remove_one()                  |
  free_some_resources()       | ch_flower_stats_cb() //timer
    cxgb4_cleanup_tc_flower() |   schedule_work()
      del_timer_sync()        |
                              | ch_flower_stats_handler() //workqueue
                              |   mod_timer()
      cancel_work_sync()      |
  kfree(adapter) //FREE       | ch_flower_stats_cb() //timer
                              |   adap->flower_stats_work //USE

This patch changes del_timer_sync() to timer_shutdown_sync(),
which could prevent rearming of the timer from the workqueue.
