    commit 3f5edd58d040bfa4b74fb89bc02f0bc6b9cd06ab upstream.
    
    Fix two long-standing bugs which could potentially lead to memory
    corruption or leave the port throttled until it is reopened (on weakly
    ordered systems), respectively, when read-URB completion races with
    unthrottle().
    
    First, the URB must not be marked as free before processing is complete
    to prevent it from being submitted by unthrottle() on another CPU.
    
    	CPU 1				CPU 2
    	================		================
    	complete()			unthrottle()
    	  process_urb();
    	  smp_mb__before_atomic();
    	  set_bit(i, free);		  if (test_and_clear_bit(i, free))
    	  					  submit_urb();
    
    Second, the URB must be marked as free before checking the throttled
    flag to prevent unthrottle() on another CPU from failing to observe that
    the URB needs to be submitted if complete() sees that the throttled flag
    is set.
    
    	CPU 1				CPU 2
    	================		================
    	complete()			unthrottle()
    	  set_bit(i, free);		  throttled = 0;
    	  smp_mb__after_atomic();	  smp_mb();
    	  if (throttled)		  if (test_and_clear_bit(i, free))
    	  	  return;			  submit_urb();
    
    Note that test_and_clear_bit() only implies barriers when the test is
    successful. To handle the case where the URB is still in use an explicit
    barrier needs to be added to unthrottle() for the second race condition.
