From: Eric Dumazet <eduma...@google.com>
When replacing del_timer() with del_timer_sync(), I introduced
a deadlock condition :
reqsk_queue_unlink() is called from inet_csk_reqsk_queue_drop()
inet_csk_reqsk_queue_drop() can be called from many contexts,
one being the timer handler itself (reqsk_timer_handler()).
In this case, del_timer_sync() loops forever.
Simple fix is to test if timer is pending.
Fixes: 2235f2ac75fd ("inet: fix races with reqsk timers")

Sorry for this very embarrassing bug, I should have caught it in my
tests :(
