7.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Hongyan Xu <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 8444d66aa6b6e7fe0a26fa1a00a11cb4d0523783 ]

at91_ping() rearms the watchdog timer from its callback. timer_delete()
neither waits for a running callback nor prevents it from rearming the
timer, so probe failure or driver removal can leave the timer accessing the
devm-allocated at91wdt after it has been freed.

Use timer_shutdown_sync() on both teardown paths. It waits for a running
callback and rejects any attempt by the callback to rearm the timer.
