From: Albert Herranz <albert_herranz@xxxxxxxx> This patch fixes the following spinlock recursion bug seen when bringing down the ethernet interface.

The issue here is that the completion handler of a queued TX URB will get called when the URB is unlinked, then tx_complete() will call defer_bh() which will try to take the queue lock again and fail. The fix here is to release the list lock before unlinking a URB.
