ip2: avoid add_timer with pending timer
add_timer() is not supposed to be called when the timer is pending. ip2 driver attempts to avoid that condition by setting and resetting a flag (TimerOn) in timer function. But there is some gap between add_timer() and setting TimerOn. This patch fix this problem by using mod_timer() and remove TimerOn which has been unnecessary by this change.
