br_set_state() returns without touching p->state when the port is MRP
aware, so br_stp_disable_port() cannot move such a port to
BR_STATE_DISABLED. The br_port_state_selection() call at the end of
br_stp_disable_port() therefore still processes the port: it is past the
"if (p->state == BR_STATE_DISABLED) continue" test, it is a designated
port (br_become_designated_port() ran a few lines earlier), and if MRP
left it in BR_STATE_BLOCKING then br_make_forwarding() re-arms
p->forward_delay_timer - after the timer_delete() that
br_stp_disable_port() just did.
del_nbp() then frees the port through call_rcu() with the timer still
queued on a timer base, and the timer wheel writes into (and eventually
calls a function pointer out of) freed memory:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in __run_timers (include/linux/list.h:1175 kernel/time/timer.c:1820 kernel/time/timer.c:2356)

The buggy address is located 112 bytes inside of
freed 2048-byte region [ffff88800ba32000, ffff88800ba32800)
Skip the STP forwarding state machine for MRP driven ports, and for good
measure shut the three port timers down in del_nbp() before the port is
handed to call_rcu(), the way commit 2a00517db8de ("bridge: stp: Fix a
potential use-after-free when deleting a bridge") did for the bridge
timers. timer_shutdown_sync() also makes any later arming attempt a
no-op.
