parport: ieee1284: use del_timer_sync() in parport_wait_event()

Use del_timer_sync() instead of del_timer() to make sure the timer won't
be running when we return from parport_wait_event(), because this would
crash due to destruction of timer_list.

This is untested and just based on a code review.  Just think about the
following sequence of events:

- add_timer()

- down_interruptible() is interrupted by a signal.

- we enter the timer callback handler on another CPU.

- del_timer(), but the timer callback is still running.

- eturn from parport_wait_even, which destroys the automatic variable
  "timer" while the callback is running on another CPU.
