Subject: Regression due to: net/usbnet: avoid recursive locking in usbnet_stop()

From: Stephen Warren <[email-masked]>

It looks like commit 4231d47e6fe69f061f96c98c30eaf9fb4c14b96d
"net/usbnet: avoid recursive locking in usbnet_stop()" causes a problem
for me.

When I reboot or shutdown, I see the error spew below at least 50% of
the time. Reverting the above patch fixes this, at least for 10 reboot
attempts.

Other notes:
* I'm running on an NVIDIA Tegra ARM device, with smsc95xx USB ethernet.
* This first happens in next-20120309, not in next-20120308.
* The problematic commit appears to have been queued for backport to
various stable branches:-(
