What happens if the hub is removed exactly now?  Although hdev is 
reference-counted (and the loop iterator does take a reference to it), 
usb_hub_to_struct_hub doesn't take a reference to hub.  And hub->ports 
isn't refcounted at all.

I have a feeling that it would be better to take and release this mutex 
in usb_for_each_port (or its caller), so that it is held over the whole 
loop.
