skge: race with workq and RTNL

If a workqueue function that needs RTNL is running when skge_down is called then a deadlock is possible. Fix by only clearing the timer, and handling the flush_scheduled_work on removal. This work queue is only ever used for the old fiber based boards. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <[email protected]>
