OK, sure. I'll add a usleep_range(1, 10) here.

This part is actually splitting "lapb_disconnect_request" into two
functions - a "__lapb_disconnect_request" without locking, and a
"lapb_disconnect_request" which provides the locking and calls
"__lapb_disconnect_request". The splitting is necessary for
"lapb_device_event" to directly call "__lapb_disconnect_request" with
the lock already held. After the splitting, the "out_put" tag would
actually be in the caller function so there's nowhere we can "goto".
