[PATCH net] net: dsa: mxl862xx: disable the stats poll on teardown

The WORK_STOPPED flag test in mxl862xx_get_stats64() and in the stats
poll's own re-arm is not atomic with the cancel in remove(), shutdown()
and the probe error path. A re-arm that read the flag before it was set
queues the work after cancel_delayed_work_sync() has returned, and the
poll then walks the port list while dsa_unregister_switch() frees it, or
runs against the devres-freed priv once remove() has returned.

Disable the work instead of cancelling it. disable_delayed_work_sync()
drains a running poll just as the cancel did, and every later attempt to
queue the work is a no-op, so neither re-arm can bring the poll back.

Found by the Sashiko AI reviews of v11 and v12 of the mxl862xx devlink
flash series, where a first attempt to close this race by reordering
remove() only moved the window.
