net: appletalk: Fix use-after-free in AARP proxy probe

The AARP proxy‐probe routine (aarp_proxy_probe_network) sends a probe,
releases the aarp_lock, sleeps, then re-acquires the lock.  During that
window an expire timer thread (__aarp_expire_timer) can remove and
kfree() the same entry, leading to a use-after-free.

race condition:

         cpu 0                          |            cpu 1
    atalk_sendmsg()                     |   atif_proxy_probe_device()
    aarp_send_ddp()                     |   aarp_proxy_probe_network()
    mod_timer()                         |   lock(aarp_lock) // LOCK!!
    timeout around 200ms                |   alloc(aarp_entry)
    and then call                       |   proxies[hash] = aarp_entry
    aarp_expire_timeout()               |   aarp_send_probe()
                                        |   unlock(aarp_lock) // UNLOCK!!
    lock(aarp_lock) // LOCK!!           |   msleep(100);
    __aarp_expire_timer(&proxies[ct])   |
    free(aarp_entry)                    |
    unlock(aarp_lock) // UNLOCK!!       |
                                        |   lock(aarp_lock) // LOCK!!
                                        |   UAF aarp_entry !!
