net/failsafe: fix hotplug alarm cancel
The hot-plug alarm mechanism of fail-safe PMD is responsible for
handling removed devices during a plug-out event and to restore them
back to activity following a plug-in event.
Fail-safe sets a flag called "pending_alarm" to validate that only one
alarm callback is pending at any time. While this flag is required to
avoid simultaneous initiations of the alarm thread - it should not be
considered during alarm thread cancellation.
So, when failsafe_hotplug_alarm_cancel() was called while the alarm
callback was being executed the alarm mechanism was not stopped.
Skip checking the "pending_alarm" flag to allow alarm thread
cancellation all the times.
