USB host: Fix lockdep warning in AMD PLL quirk



Booting latest kernel on my test machine produces a lockdep
warning from the usb_amd_find_chipset_info() function:

 WARNING: at /data/lemmy/linux.trees.git/kernel/lockdep.c:2465 lockdep_trace_alloc+0x95/0xc2()
 Hardware name: Snook
 Modules linked in:
 Pid: 959, comm: work_for_cpu Not tainted 2.6.39-rc2+ #22

...

It turns out that this function calls pci_get_device under a spin_lock
with irqs disabled, but the pci_get_device function is only allowed in
preemptible context.

This patch fixes the warning by making all data-structure
modifications on temporal storage and commiting this back
into the visible structure at the end. While at it, this
patch also moves the pci_dev_put calls out of the spinlocks
because this function might sleep too.
