forcedeth: fix race when unloading module
When forcedeth module is unloaded, there exists a path that can lead to mod_timer() after del_timer_sync(), causing an oops. This patch short-circuits this unneeded path, which originates in nv_get_ethtool_stats(). Tested: x86_64 16-way + 3 ethtool -S infinite loops + 100Mbps incoming traffic + rmmod/modprobe/ifconfig in a loop Initial-Author: Salman Qazi <sqazi@google.com> Discussion: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/123548/ Signed-off-by: David Decotigny <david.decotigny@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
