When closing the isotp socket the potentially running hrtimers are
canceled before removing the subscription for CAN idendifiers via
can_rx_unregister().

This may lead to an unintended (re)start of a hrtimer in isotp_rcv_cf()
and isotp_rcv_fc() in the case that a CAN frame is received by
isotp_rcv() while the subscription removal is processed.

However, isotp_rcv() is called under RCU protection, so after calling
can_rx_unregister, we may call synchronize_rcu in order to wait for any
RCU read-side critical sections to finish. This prevents the reception
of CAN frames after hrtimer_cancel() and therefore the unintended
(re)start of the hrtimers.
