The original dwc_otg driver used a DWC_WORKQ_SCHEDULE() wrapper to queue work items. Because that wrapper acquired the driver's global spinlock, an unlock/lock dance was necessary whenever a work item was queued up while the global spinlock was already held. The dwc2 driver dropped DWC_WORKQ_SCHEDULE() in favor of a direct call to queue_work(), but retained the (now gratuitous) unlock/lock dance in dwc2_handle_conn_id_status_change_intr(). Drop it.
