Subject: [PATCH 1/2] usb/gadget: fix printer deadlock

From: "wenlin.kang" <wenlin.kang@...driver.com>

The problem occurs in follow path.

printer_read()
	|
	+---setup_rx_reqs()
		|
		+---usb_ep_queue()
			|
			+---...
				|
				+---rx_complete()

Although it is clear from code, we can't get it normally.
only when we enable some spin_lock debug config option, we can find it.
eg:
BUG: spinlock lockup on CPU#0, g_printer_test_/584
 lock: bf05e158, .magic: dead4ead, .owner: g_printer_test_/584, .owner_cpu: 0

[<c01388d0>] (sys_read+0x50/0x124) from [<c000e900>] (ret_fast_syscall+0x0/0x3c)

The root cause is that we use the same lock two time in a path, so to avoid
the deadlock, we need to unlock in setup_rx_reqs(), and only unlock.
