usbnet: cleanup after bind() in probe()

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.
