usbnet: fix skb traversing races during unlink(v2)
Commit 4231d47e6fe69f061f96c98c30eaf9fb4c14b96d(net/usbnet: avoid recursive locking in usbnet_stop()) fixes the recursive locking problem by releasing the skb queue lock before unlink, but may cause skb traversing races: - after URB is unlinked and the queue lock is released, the refered skb and skb->next may be moved to done queue, even be released - in skb_queue_walk_safe, the next skb is still obtained by next pointer of the last skb - so maybe trigger oops or other problems This patch extends the usage of entry->state to describe 'start_unlink' state, so always holding the queue(rx/tx) lock to change the state if the referd skb is in rx or tx queue because we need to know if the refered urb has been started unlinking in unlink_urbs. The other part of this patch is based on Huajun's patch: always traverse from head of the tx/rx queue to get skb which is to be unlinked but not been started unlinking.
