In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net/mlx5: Always stop health timer during driver removal

Currently, if teardown_hca fails to execute during driver removal, mlx5
does not stop the health timer. Afterwards, mlx5 continue with driver
teardown. This may lead to a UAF bug, which results in page fault
Oops[1], since the health timer invokes after resources were freed.

Hence, stop the health monitor even if teardown_hca fails.
