The uvcvideo code has no lock protection against USB disconnects
while video operations are ongoing. This has resulted in random
error reports, typically pointing to a crash in usb_ifnum_to_if(),
called from usb_hcd_alloc_bandwidth(). A typical traceback is as
follows.
usb 1-4: USB disconnect, device number 3

While this is problem rarely observed in the field, it is relatively easy
to reproduce by adding msleep() calls into the code.
I don't presume to claim that I found every issue, but this patch series
should fix at least the major problems.
The patch series was tested exensively on a Chromebook running chromeos-4.19
and on a Linux system running a v5.8.y based kernel.
