Subject: [PATCH RFC 2/2] USB: ldusb: fix ring-buffer locking

The custom ring-buffer implementation was merged without any locking
whatsoever, but a spinlock was later added by commit 9d33efd9a791
("USB: ldusb bugfix").

The lock did not cover the loads from the ring-buffer-entry after
determining the buffer was non-empty, nor the update of the tail index
once the entry had been processed. The former could lead to stale data
being returned, while the latter could lead to memory corruption on
sufficiently weakly ordered architectures.

Fixes: 2824bd250f0b ("[PATCH] USB: add ldusb driver")
Fixes: 9d33efd9a791 ("USB: ldusb bugfix")
Cc: stable <stable@...r.kernel.org>     # 2.6.13
