This patch (as1151) protects usbcore against drivers that try to
unlink an URB after the URB's device or bus have been removed.  The
core does not currently check for this, and certain drivers can cause
a crash if they are running while an HCD is unloaded.

Certainly it would be best to fix the guilty drivers.  But a little
defensive programming doesn't hurt, especially since it appears that
quite a few drivers need to be fixed.

The patch prevents the problem by grabbing a reference to the device
while an unlink is in progress and using a new spinlock to synchronize
unlinks with device removal.  (There's no need to acquire a reference
to the bus as well, since the device structure itself keeps a
reference to the bus.)  In addition, the kerneldoc is updated to
indicate that URBs should not be unlinked after the disconnect method
returns.
