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.
