xhci: sideband: Fix race condition in sideband unregister
Uttkarsh Aggarwal observed a kernel panic during sideband un-register
and found it was caused by a race condition between sideband unregister,
and creating sideband interrupters.
The issue occurrs when thread T1 runs uaudio_disconnect() and released
sb->xhci via sideband_unregister, while thread T2 simultaneously accessed
the now-NULL sb->xhci in xhci_sideband_create_interrupter() resulting in
a crash.
Ensure new endpoints or interrupter can't be added to a sidenband after
xhci_sideband_unregister() cleared the existing ones, and unlocked the
sideband mutex.
Reorganize code so that mutex is only taken and released once in
xhci_sideband_unregister(), and clear sb->vdev while mutex is taken.
Use mutex guards to reduce human unlock errors in code
Refuse to add endpoints or interrupter if sb->vdev is not set.
sb->vdev is set when sideband is created and registered.
