This needs a mutex_lock(&em28xx_devlist_mutex);

But actually, I don't think this is right: if there are multiple em28xx
devices, then I think if you disconnect one, then the other is - with this
code - also removed from the list.

Can you give a link to the actual syzbot bug? I'm not at all sure you are
fixing the right thing here.
