Commit 8b52291a0743 ("usb-storage: fix deadlock involving host lock and scsi_done") added a local variable to usb_stor_control_thread() in the usb-storage driver. This local variable holds the value of us->srb, for use after the host lock has been released. But as long as we have the value in a local variable, we may as well use it instead of dereferencing the us pointer all over the place. This patch makes no functional change; it just makes the code a little shorter and a little neater.
