4.2.8-ckt9 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit 1666984c8625b3db19a9abc298931d35ab7bc64b upstream.
In case bind() works, but a later error forces bailing in probe() in error cases work and a timer may be scheduled. They must be killed. This fixes an error case related to the double free reported in http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg367669.html and needs to go on top of Linus' fix to cdc-ncm.
