Thanks for pointing this out. I realize this patch is incorrect and it
is non-ideal to include many codes unrelated to xhci->devs[slot_id]
within the lock.

It appears that xhci_check_maxpacket() might potentially lead to a
deadlock later if a spinlock is held. Is this the concern you were
referring to? If not, please let me know if there are any other
potential issues that I may have missed, thanks!
