Subject: [PATCH 2/2] usb: gadget: uvc: Remove nested locking

When handling error status from uvcg_video_usb_req_queue,
uvc_video_complete currently calls uvcg_queue_cancel with
video->req_lock held. uvcg_queue_cancel internally locks
queue->irqlock, which nests queue->irqlock inside
video->req_lock. This isn't a functional bug at the
moment, but does open up possibilities for ABBA
deadlocks in the future.

This patch fixes the accidental nesting by dropping
video->req_lock before calling uvcg_queue_cancel.
