parport: ieee1284: use del_timer_sync() in parport_wait_event()
Use del_timer_sync() instead of del_timer() to make sure the timer won't be running when we return from parport_wait_event(), because this would crash due to destruction of timer_list. This is untested and just based on a code review. Just think about the following sequence of events: - add_timer() - down_interruptible() is interrupted by a signal. - we enter the timer callback handler on another CPU. - del_timer(), but the timer callback is still running. - eturn from parport_wait_even, which destroys the automatic variable "timer" while the callback is running on another CPU.
