Note that it is still possible that the tx work is queued right after cancel_work_sync()
returned and before the net device is unregistered (and thus the check for the net device
being up at the beginning of the tx work function is passed and the function is executed).
I suggest to avoid this possible race by first unregistering the netdevice and then 
calling cancel_work_sync().
