tty/serial: at91: disable uart timer at start of shutdown
The uart timer will schedule a tasklet when it fires. It is possible that it can fire inside _shutdown before it is killed in the dma and pdc cleanup routines. This causes a tasklet that exists after the port is shutdown, so when the kernel finally executes it, it panics as the tty port is NULL. This is a somewhat rare condition but its possible if a program keeps on opening/closing the port. It has been observed in particular with systemd boot messages that were causing a kernel panic because of this behavior. Moving the timer deletion to the beginning of the function stops a tasklet from being scheduled unexpectedly.
