r8169: prevent potential deadlock in rtl8169_close
ndo_stop() is RTNL-protected by net core, and the worker function takes RTNL as well. Therefore we will deadlock when trying to execute a pending work synchronously. To fix this execute any pending work asynchronously. This will do no harm because netif_running() is false in ndo_stop(), and therefore the work function is effectively a no-op. However we have to ensure that no task is running or pending after rtl_remove_one(), therefore add a call to cancel_work_sync().
