While usb_kill_urb is in progress, calls to usb_submit_urb will fail with -EPERM (documented in Documentation/usb/URB.txt). The UVC driver does not correctly handle this case -- there is no synchronization between uvc_v4l2_open / uvc_status_start and uvc_v4l2_release / uvc_status_stop. This patch adds a retry / timeout when uvc_status_open / usb_submit_urb returns -EPERM. This usually means that usb_kill_urb is in progress, and we just need to wait a while.
