Shuah, this driver is getting more and more cryptic and buggy.
Please explain the strategy for serialization before you write patches.

No, this helps nothing.

detach_store() can queue shutdown event as soon as reaching "/* end the lock */" line
but attach_store() might be preempted immediately after verifying that
usbip_event_happened() was false (i.e. at this location) in order to wait for
shutdown event posted by detach_store() to be processed.
