Added Description

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

batman-adv: tp_meter: directly shut down timer on cleanup

batadv_tp_sender_cleanup() was calling timer_delete_sync() followed by
timer_delete() to guard against the timer handler re-arming itself between
the two calls. This double-deletion hack relied on the sending status being
set to 0 to suppress re-arming.

Replace both calls with a single timer_shutdown_sync(). This function both
waits for any running timer callback to complete (like timer_delete_sync())
and permanently disarms the timer so it cannot be re-armed afterwards,
making re-arming prevention unconditional and self-documenting.

The re-arming property is also required because otherwise:

1. context 0 (batadv_tp_recv_ack()) checks in
   batadv_tp_reset_sender_timer() if sending is still 1 -> it is
2. context 1 changes in batadv_tp_sender_shutdown() sending to 0 and in
   this process forces the kthread to stop timer in
   batadv_tp_sender_cleanup()
3. context 0 continues in batadv_tp_reset_sender_timer() and rearms the
   timer -> but the reference for it is already gone
