Bluetooth: btnxpuart: Shutdown timer and prevent rearming when driver unloading

When unload the btnxpuart driver, its associated timer will be deleted.

If the timer happens to be modified at this moment, it leads to the

kernel panic.

Use timer_shutdown_sync() instead of del_timer_sync() to prevent rearming.
