commit 543d7784b07ffd16cc82a9cb4e1e0323fd0040f1 upstream.
There is a race in the hub driver between hub_disconnect() and
recursively_mark_NOTATTACHED(). This race can be triggered if the
driver is unbound from a device at the same time as the bus's root hub
is removed. When the race occurs, it can cause an oops:

One problem is that recursively_mark_NOTATTACHED() uses the intfdata
value and hub->hdev->maxchild while hub_disconnect() is clearing them.
Another problem is that it uses hub->ports[i] while the port device is
being released.
To fix this race, we need to hold the device_state_lock while
hub_disconnect() changes the values. (Note that usb_disconnect()
and hub_port_connect_change() already acquire this lock at similar
critical times during a USB device's life cycle.) We also need to
remove the port devices after maxchild has been set to 0, instead of
before.
