inet: fix potential deadlock in reqsk_queue_unlink()
When replacing del_timer() with del_timer_sync(), I introduced a deadlock condition : reqsk_queue_unlink() is called from inet_csk_reqsk_queue_drop() inet_csk_reqsk_queue_drop() can be called from many contexts, one being the timer handler itself (reqsk_timer_handler()). In this case, del_timer_sync() loops forever. Simple fix is to test if timer is pending.
