[PATCH net v2 2/3] can: dev: add close_candev_cancel_restart_sync()

Drivers may need to wait for bus-off recovery before tearing down the
IRQ and hardware resources used by their restart callback. Calling
close_candev() at that point also flushes echo skbs, which belongs after
the driver has quiesced the users of those buffers.

Add close_candev_cancel_restart_sync() in linux/can/dev.h so drivers can
cancel the core restart work separately, without accessing can_priv's
work item directly. The helper only cancels restart work; callers must
still stop its producers and call close_candev() for the final cleanup.

Use the helper in close_candev(), preserving its existing cancellation
and echo cleanup order.
