    USB: don't free bandwidth_mutex too early

    The USB core contains a bug that can show up when a USB-3 host
    controller is removed. If the primary (USB-2) hcd structure is
    released before the shared (USB-3) hcd, the core will try to do a
    double-free of the common bandwidth_mutex.

    The problem was described in graphical form by Chung-Geol Kim, who
    first reported it:

    =================================================

    This happens because hcd_release() frees the bandwidth_mutex whenever
    it sees a primary hcd being released (which is not a very good idea
    in any case), but in the course of releasing the primary hcd, it
    changes the pointers in the shared hcd in such a way that the shared
    hcd will appear to be primary when it gets released.

    This patch fixes the problem by changing hcd_release() so that it
    deallocates the bandwidth_mutex only when the _last_ hcd structure
    referencing it is released. The patch also removes an unnecessary

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-xenial' to 'verification-done-xenial'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!
