Greg, sending patch again using git send-email, please apply.
Let me know if still any issue.
There is race condition when two USB class drivers try to call
init_usb_class at the same time and leads to crash.
code path: probe->usb_register_dev->init_usb_class
To solve this, mutex locking has been added in init_usb_class() and
destroy_usb_class().
As pointed by Alan, removed "if (usb_class)" test from destroy_usb_class()
because usb_class can never be NULL there.

Note, please put comments like this below the --- line so I don't have
to manually edit the file by hand.
I've now queued this up, thanks.

Are you sure you made this in the correct format? Seems that the patch
has dos line-ends :(
Please fix up and resend.
