commit 1e027960edfaa6a43f9ca31081729b716598112b upstream.

syzbot found another add_timer() issue, this time in net/hsr [1]

Let's use mod_timer() which is safe.

Use del_timer_sync to ensure that the timer is stopped on all CPUs before
the driver exists.

This change was suggested by Thomas Gleixner.

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// &lt;smpl&gt;
@r@
declarer name module_exit;
identifier ex;
@@

module_exit(ex);

@@
identifier r.ex;

}
// &lt;/smpl&gt;

Conflicts:

	net/ipv6/sit.c

The SIT driver conflict consists of a bug fix being done by hand
in 'net' (missing u64_stats_init()) whilst in 'net-next' a helper
was created (netdev_alloc_pcpu_stats()) which takes care of this.

The two wireless conflicts were overlapping changes.

This is a sanity check and we never pass invalid values so this patch
doesn't change anything.  However the node-&gt;time_in[] array has
HSR_MAX_SLAVE (2) elements and not HSR_MAX_DEV (3).

It's slightly smaller/faster for some architectures.
Make sure def_multicast_addr is __aligned(2)

The callback function of call_rcu() just calls a kfree(), so we
can use kfree_rcu() instead of call_rcu() + callback function.

<title>genetlink: make multicast groups const, prevent abuse</title>

Register generic netlink multicast groups as an array with
the family and give them contiguous group IDs. Then instead
of passing the global group ID to the various functions that
send messages, pass the ID relative to the family - for most
families that's just 0 because the only have one group.

This avoids the list_head and ID in each group, adding a new
field for the mcast group ID offset to the family.

At the same time, this allows us to prevent abusing groups
again like the quota and dropmon code did, since we can now
check that a family only uses a group it owns.

This doesn't really change anything, but prepares for the
next patch that will change the APIs to pass the group ID
within the family, rather than the global group ID.
