There are race conditions that may lead to UAF bugs in
ax25_heartbeat_expiry(), ax25_t1timer_expiry(), ax25_t2timer_expiry(),
ax25_t3timer_expiry() and ax25_idletimer_expiry(), when we call
ax25_release() to deallocate ax25_dev.

One of the UAF bugs caused by ax25_release() is shown below:

      (Thread 1)                    |      (Thread 2)
ax25_dev_device_up() //(1)          |
...                                 | ax25_kill_by_device()
ax25_bind()          //(2)          |
ax25_connect()                      | ...
 ax25_std_establish_data_link()     |
  ax25_start_t1timer()              | ax25_dev_device_down() //(3)
   mod_timer(&ax25->t1timer,..)     |
                                    | ax25_release()
   (wait a time)                    |  ...
                                    |  ax25_dev_put(ax25_dev) //(4)FREE
   ax25_t1timer_expiry()            |
    ax25->ax25_dev->values[..] //USE|  ...
     ...                            |

We increase the refcount of ax25_dev in position (1) and (2), and
decrease the refcount of ax25_dev in position (3) and (4).
The ax25_dev will be freed in position (4) and be used in
ax25_t1timer_expiry().

The fail log is shown below:

This patch adds del_timer_sync() in ax25_release(), which could ensure
that all timers stop before we deallocate ax25_dev.
