    When running v5.5 with a rootfs on NFS, memory abort may happen in
    the system resume stage:
     Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address dead00000000012a
     [dead00000000012a] address between user and kernel address ranges

    It's found that stmmac_xmit() and stmmac_resume() sometimes might
    run concurrently, possibly resulting in a race condition between
    mod_timer() and setup_timer(), being called by stmmac_xmit() and
    stmmac_resume() respectively.
    
    Since the resume() runs setup_timer() every time, it'd be safer to
    have del_timer_sync() in the suspend() as the counterpart.
