3.16.61-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Yoshihiro Shimoda <yoshihiro.shimoda.uh@xxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 9ada8c582088d32bd5c071c17213bc6edf37443a upstream.
If usb_gadget_giveback_request() is called in usb_ep_queue(),
this printer_write() is possible to cause spinlock recursion. So,
this patch adds spin_unlock() before calls usb_ep_queue() to avoid it.
