usb_kill_urb warranties that all the handlers are finished when it
returns, but does not protect against threads that might be handling
asynchronously the urb.
For UVC, the function uvc_ctrl_status_event_async() takes care of
control changes asynchronously.
If the code is executed in the following order:
CPU 0 CPU 1
===== =====
uvc_status_complete()
uvc_status_stop()
uvc_ctrl_status_event_work()
uvc_status_start() -> FAIL
Then uvc_status_start will keep failing and this error will be shown:
<4>[ 5.540139] URB 0000000000000000 submitted while active
drivers/usb/core/urb.c:378 usb_submit_urb+0x4c3/0x528
Let's improve the current situation, by not re-submiting the urb if
we are stopping the status event. Also process the queued work
(if any) during stop.
CPU 0 CPU 1
===== =====
uvc_status_complete()
uvc_status_stop()
uvc_status_start()
uvc_ctrl_status_event_work() -> FAIL
Hopefully, with the usb layer protection this should be enough to cover
all the cases.

Changes in v6:
- Improve comments. (Thanks Laurent).
- Use true/false instead of 1/0 (Thanks Laurent).
- Link to v5: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221212-uvc-race-v5-0-3db3933d1608@xxxxxxxxxxxx
Changes in v5:
- atomic_t do not impose barriers, use smp_mb() instead. (Thanks Laurent)
- Add an extra cancel_work_sync().
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221212-uvc-race-v4-0-38d7075b03f5@xxxxxxxxxxxx
Changes in v4:
- Replace bool with atomic_t to avoid compiler reordering.
- First complete the async work and then kill the urb to avoid race (Thanks Laurent!)
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221212-uvc-race-v3-0-954efc752c9a@xxxxxxxxxxxx
Changes in v3:
- Remove the patch for dev->status, makes more sense in another series, and makes
the zero day less nervous.
- Update reviewed-by (thanks Yunke!).
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221212-uvc-race-v2-0-54496cc3b8ab@xxxxxxxxxxxx
Changes in v2:
- Add a patch for not kalloc dev->status
- Redo the logic mechanism, so it also works with suspend (Thanks Yunke!)
