[PATCH] drivers: usb: host: Fix deadlock in oxu_bus_suspend()

[Duoming Zhou]

There is a deadlock in oxu_bus_suspend(), which is shown below:

   (Thread 1)              |      (Thread 2)
                           | timer_action()
oxu_bus_suspend()          |  mod_timer()
 spin_lock_irq() //(1)     |  (wait a time)
 ...                       | oxu_watchdog()
 del_timer_sync()          |  spin_lock_irq() //(2)
 (wait timer to stop)      |  ...

We hold oxu->lock in position (1) of thread 1, and use
del_timer_sync() to wait timer to stop, but timer handler
also need oxu->lock in position (2) of thread 2. As a result,
oxu_bus_suspend() will block forever.

This patch extracts del_timer_sync() from the protection of
spin_lock_irq(), which could let timer handler to obtain
the needed lock.
