From: Paolo Abeni pabeni@redhat.com
commit 10414014bc085aac9f787a5890b33b5605fbcfc4 upstream.
syzbot reported that xt_LED may try to use the ledinternal->timer without previously initializing it:

The ledinternal struct can be shared between several different xt_LED targets, but the related timer is currently initialized only if the first target requires it. Fix it by unconditionally initializing the timer struct.
v1 -> v2: call del_timer_sync() unconditionally, too.
