The stop endpoint command has its own 5 second timeout timer. If the timeout function is triggered between USB3 and USB2 host removal it will try to call usb_hc_died(xhci_to_hcd(xhci)->primary_hcd) the ->primary_hcd will be set to NULL at USB3 hcd removal. Fix this by first checking if the PCI host is being removed, and also by using only xhci_to_hcd() as it will always return the primary hcd.
