[PATCH] USB: usbfs: drop the device semaphore in proc_bulk and proc_control
usb_control_msg and usb_bulk_msg may sleep for a long time, so drop the per device
semaphore before calling them. This fixes OSDL bug 3108. Dropping the semaphore
is racy, but (1) the race is fairly harmless, (2) it can be occur elsewhere as an inevitable
consequence of the current usbfs api, this just makes it fractionally more likely.
