Subject: [PATCH] usb: host: oxu210hp-hcd: Fix deadlock in oxu_qh_alloc()

oxu_qh_alloc() acquires oxu->mem_lock spinlock, finds free qh slot
and calls ehci_qtd_alloc() to initialize qh->dummy, but
ehci_qtd_alloc() acquires oxu->mem_lock as well.
That means an unavoidable deadlock in oxu_qh_alloc().

The patch fixes the issue by introduction of unlocked version
of ehci_qtd_alloc().

Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).
