[PATCH] sh: push-switch: reorder cleanup operations to avoid UAF bug

The original code puts flush_work() before timer_shutdown_sync()
in switch_drv_remove(). Although we use flush_work() to stop
the worker, it could be re-scheduled in switch_timer. As a result,
the UAF bug will happen. The detail is shown below:

      (cpu 0)                    |      (cpu 1)
switch_drv_remove()              |
 flush_work()                    |
  ...                            |  switch_timer //timer
                                 |   schedule_work(&psw->work)
 timer_shutdown_sync()           |
 ...                             |  switch_work_handler //worker
 kfree(psw) //free               |
                                 |   psw->state = 0 //use

This patch puts timer_shutdown_sync() before flush_work() to
mitigate the bugs. As a result, the worker and timer could
be stopped safely before the deallocate operations.
