drivers: staging: rtl8192e: Fix deadlock in rtllib_beacons_stop()

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drivers: staging: rtl8192e: Fix deadlock in rtllib_beacons_stop()

There is a deadlock in rtllib_beacons_stop(), which is shown
below:

   (Thread 1)              |      (Thread 2)
                           | rtllib_send_beacon()
rtllib_beacons_stop()      |  mod_timer()
 spin_lock_irqsave() //(1) |  (wait a time)
 ...                       | rtllib_send_beacon_cb()
 del_timer_sync()          |  spin_lock_irqsave() //(2)
 (wait timer to stop)      |  ...

We hold ieee->beacon_lock in position (1) of thread 1 and
use del_timer_sync() to wait timer to stop, but timer handler
also need ieee->beacon_lock in position (2) of thread 2.
As a result, rtllib_beacons_stop() will block forever.

This patch extracts del_timer_sync() from the protection of
spin_lock_irqsave(), which could let timer handler to obtain
the needed lock.
