amt: fix use-after-free in AMT delayed works

When an AMT device is removed, pending delayed works can still access
the freed amt_dev structure, which may result in kernel crashes or
memory corruption.

amt_dev_stop() cancels req_wq and discovery_wq with
cancel_delayed_work_sync(), but these works can be scheduled again
from event_wq after the cancellation. This allows delayed works to
access the freed amt_dev structure after the netdev has been released.

The following is a simple race scenario:

CPU0                         CPU1

amt_dev_stop()
cancel_delayed_work_sync()
                             amt_event_work()
                             mod_delayed_work(req_wq)
free netdev
                             req_wq accesses freed amt_dev

Use disable_delayed_work_sync() in amt_dev_stop() to prevent req_wq and
discovery_wq from being queued again and wait for running work items
to complete.

The delayed works are disabled after initialization in
amt_newlink() and enabled only when the device is successfully opened.
This keeps the delayed work lifecycle synchronized with the lifetime
of the AMT device.
