Hi,
This patch addresses a memory leak bug in the usages of `timer_del()`.
The issue arisesfrom the incorrect use of the ambiguous timer API 
`timer_del()`, which does not free the timer object. The LeakSanitizer
report this issue during fuzzing. The correct API `timer_free()` freed
the timer object instead.

Direct leak of 48 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from:

Queued to hw-misc, thanks!
