The musb_h_disable() routine can oops in some cases:

 - It's not safe to read hep->hcpriv outside musb->lock,
   since it gets changed on completion IRQ paths.

 - The list iterators aren't safe to use in that way;
   just remove the first element while !list_empty(),
   so deletions on other code paths can't make trouble.

We need two "scrub the list" loops because only one branch
should touch hardware and advance the schedule.
