The allocation of 'unlink' can be moved before a spin_lock.
This slighly simplifies the error handling if the memory allocation fails,
aligns the code structure with what is done in 'vhci_tx_urb()' and reduces
potential lock contention.

Are you seeing any problems or is this a potential lock contention?
If you are seeing issues, please share the problem seen.

This change might simplify the error path, however it could
open a race window with the unlink activity during
vhci_shutdown_connection() when the connection is being taken
down. It would be safer to hold both locks as soon as the
connection check is done.

No, the issue is just theoretical.

My proposal was just a small clean-up (from my point of view at least).
If it can have some side effects, please, just consider it as a NACK.
