ALSA: usb-audio: Fix irq/process data synchronization
Commit 16200948d83 ("ALSA: usb-audio: Fix race at stopping the stream") was
incomplete causing another more severe kernel panic, so it got reverted.
This fixes both the original problem and its fallout kernel race/crash.
The original fix is to move the endpoint member NULL clearing logic inside
wait_clear_urbs() so the irq triggering the urb completion doesn't call
retire_capture/playback_urb() after the NULL clearing and generate a panic.
However this creates a new race between snd_usb_endpoint_start()'s call
to wait_clear_urbs() and the irq urb completion handler which again calls
retire_capture/playback_urb() leading to a new NULL dereference.
We keep the EP deactivation code in snd_usb_endpoint_start() because
removing it will break the EP reference counting (see [1] [2] for info),
however we don't need the "can_sleep" mechanism anymore because a new
function was introduced (snd_usb_endpoint_sync_pending_stop()) which
synchronizes pending stops and gets called inside the pcm prepare callback.
It also makes sense to remove can_sleep because it was also removed from
deactivate_urbs() signature in [3] so we benefit from more simplification.
