I will apply xhci->mutex in this patch for code consistency, but I think
we can drop xhci->mutex (in a separated patch) anyway.
xhci->mutex was introduced to protect two race sources of xhci->slot_id
and xhci->addr_dev by below commit:
commit a00918d0521df1c7a2ec9143142a3ea998c8526d

usb: host: xhci: add mutex for non-thread-safe data
Regression in commit 638139eb95d2 ("usb: hub: allow to process more usb
hub events in parallel")
The regression resulted in intermittent failure to initialise a 10-port
hub (with three internal VL812 4-port hub controllers) on boot, with a
failure rate of around 8%, due to multiple race conditions when
accessing addr_dev and slot_id in struct xhci_hcd.
This regression also exposed a problem with xhci_setup_device, which
"should be protected by the usb_address0_mutex" but no longer is due to
commit 6fecd4f2a58c ("USB: separate usb_address0 mutexes for each bus")
With separate buses (and locks) it is no longer the case that a single
lock will protect xhci_setup_device from accesses by two parallel
threads processing events on the two buses.
Fix this by adding a mutex to protect addr_dev and slot_id in struct
xhci_hcd, and by making the assignment of slot_id atomic.
[--cut---]
We have already removed these two race sources after that by below
two commits:
c2d3d49 usb: xhci: move slot_id from xhci_hcd to xhci_command structure
87e44f2 usb: xhci: remove the use of xhci->addr_dev
So we don't need xhci->mutex any more. I will try to do this in a separated
patch with more tests. For now, I will add xhci->mutex for code consistency.

Lu Baolu
