From: Kiruthika Varadarajan <Kiruthika.Varadarajan@xxxxxxxxxx> commit d29fcf7078bc8be2b6366cbd4418265b53c94fac upstream. On spin lock release in rx_submit, gether_disconnect get a chance to run, it makes port_usb NULL, rx_submit access NULL port USB, hence null pointer crash. Fixed by releasing the lock in rx_submit after port_usb is used.
