In command timer function, xhci_handle_command_timeout(), xhci->lock
is unlocked before call into xhci_abort_cmd_ring(). This might cause
race between the timer function and the event handler.

The xhci_abort_cmd_ring() function sets the CMD_RING_ABORT bit in the
command register and polling it until the setting takes effect. A stop
command ring event might be handled between writing the abort bit and
polling for it. The event handler will restart the command ring, which
causes the failure of polling, and we ever believed that we failed to
stop it.

As a bonus, this also fixes some issues of calling functions without
locking in xhci_handle_command_timeout().


Did the same thing, moved the unlock to cover also abort_cmd_ring(),

but this one takes care of locking the command ring cleanup as well
so I'll pick up this instead
