When IPv6 module gets initialized, but it's hitting an error in inet6_init()
where it then needs to undo all the prior initialization work, it also might
do a call to ndisc_cleanup() which then calls neigh_table_clear(). In there
is a missing timer cancellation of the table's managed_work item.
The kernel test robot explicitly triggered this error path and caused a UAF
crash similar to the below:

Note that IPv6 module cannot be unloaded as per
798baed53d26 ("ipv6: do not
allow ipv6 module to be removed") hence this can only be seen during module
initialization error. Tested with kernel test robot's reproducer.
Fixes: 5e24df39aec3 ("net, neigh: Add NTF_MANAGED flag for managed neighbor entries")
