usbcore: make hcd_endpoint_disable wait for queue to drain
The inconsistent lock state problem in usbcore (the one that shows up when an HCD is unloaded) comes down to two inter-related problems: usb_rh_urb_dequeue() isn't set up to be called with interrupts disabled. hcd_endpoint_disable() doesn't wait for all URBs on the endpoint's queue to complete. The two problems are related because the one type of URB that isn't likely to be complete when hcd_endpoint_disable() returns is a root-hub URB. Right now usb_rh_urb_dequeue() waits for them to complete, and it assumes interrupts are enabled so it can wait. But hcd_endpoint_disable() calls it with interrupts disabled. Now, it should be legal to unlink root-hub URBs with interrupts disabled. The solution is to move the waiting into hcd_endpoint_disable(), where it belongs. This patch (as754) does that. It turns out to be completely safe to replace the del_timer_sync() with a simple del_timer(). It doesn't matter if the timer routine is running; hcd_root_hub_lock will synchronize the two threads and the status URB will complete with an unlink error, as it should.
