rxrpc: Restore removed timer deletion



A recent patch[1] from Eric Dumazet flipped the order in which the
keepalive timer and the keepalive worker were cancelled in order to fix a
syzbot reported issue[2].  Unfortunately, this enables the mirror image bug
whereby the timer races with rxrpc_exit_net(), restarting the worker after
it has been cancelled:

	CPU 1		CPU 2
	===============	=====================
			if (rxnet->live)
			<INTERRUPT>
	rxnet->live = false;
 	cancel_work_sync(&rxnet->peer_keepalive_work);
			rxrpc_queue_work(&rxnet->peer_keepalive_work);
	del_timer_sync(&rxnet->peer_keepalive_timer);

Fix this by restoring the removed del_timer_sync() so that we try to remove
the timer twice.  If the timer runs again, it should see ->live == false
and not restart the worker.
