Got it, it is easy to fix it by replace the below line:

                 spin_unlock_irqrestore(&dev->done.lock, flags);

with these:

                 if (!test_cpu_bit(URB_UNLINKING, dev->cpuflags))
                       spin_unlock_irqrestore(&dev->done.lock, flags);
                 else
                       spin_unlock(&dev->done.lock);

No, URB_UNLINKING being set means the lock has been held during unlink,
see unlink_urbs related changes in the percpu flag patch.
