handle_cmd_completion() frees a command structure which might
be still referenced by xhci->current_cmd. This might cause
problem when xhci->current_cmd is accessed after that.

A real-life case could be like this. The host takes a very long
time to respond to a command, and the command timer is fired at
the same time when the command completion event arrives. The
command completion handler frees xhci->current_cmd before the
timer function can grab xhci->lock. Afterward, timer function
grabs the lock and go ahead with checking and setting members
of xhci->current_cmd.

Thanks,

I might do some tweaking to (or remove)  the warn message when applying if
that is ok
