There is a deadlock in rr_close(), which is shown below:
(Thread 1) | (Thread 2)
| rr_open()
rr_close() | add_timer()
spin_lock_irqsave() //(1) | (wait a time)
... | rr_timer()
del_timer_sync() | spin_lock_irqsave() //(2)
(wait timer to stop) | ...
We hold rrpriv->lock in position (1) of thread 1 and
use del_timer_sync() to wait timer to stop, but timer handler
also need rrpriv->lock in position (2) of thread 2.
As a result, rr_close() will block forever.
This patch extracts del_timer_sync() from the protection of
spin_lock_irqsave(), which could let timer handler to obtain
the needed lock.
