USB: Proper handling of Race Condition when two USB class drivers try to call init_usb_class simultaneously There is race condition when two USB class drivers try to call init_usb_class at the same time and leads to crash. code path: probe->usb_register_dev->init_usb_class To solve this, mutex locking has been added in init_usb_class() and destroy_usb_class(). As pointed by Alan, removed "if (usb_class)" test from destroy_usb_class() because usb_class can never be NULL there.
