When a USB device with active stream endpoints is disconnected,
xhci_free_streams() is called from the hub_event workqueue to
free the stream resources. It calls xhci_free_stream_info()
while holding xhci->lock with irqs disabled.

xhci_free_stream_info() invokes xhci_free_stream_ctx(), which
calls dma_free_coherent() for large stream context arrays.

dma_free_coherent() can sleep (e.g. via vunmap), triggering
a BUG when called from atomic context.

Fix this by saving the stream_info pointers and clearing the
ep references under the lock, then calling xhci_free_stream_info()
outside the lock where sleeping is allowed.

Applied, needed some manual work

Line endings (CR/CRLF) of this patch got mangled somewhere on the way (mail client?).

Checkpatch also complained about "From" and "Signed-off-by" mismatch.
胡连勤 != Lianqin Hu according to script, But this can probably be ignored

Thanks
