It is not a schedule issue. Priority does not prevent atomic sequences from irq
handlers which run in interrupt context. So we added local_irq_save to protect
explicitly and asked if it is the right approach.

In addition, I've checked if all functions in udc.c, which have the comment
"execute without interruption", need to be protected from irqs. And I think no
need for the others since they don't seem to have any contention between
tasks and the chip as hw_ep_prime has.

Thanks.
