[PATCH] gen estimator timer unload race

[NET]: Fix gen_estimator timer removal race

As noticed by Jarek Poplawski <jarkao2@o2.pl>, the timer removal in
gen_kill_estimator races with the timer function rearming the timer.

Check whether the timer list is empty before rearming the timer
in the timer function to fix this.
