HID: usbhid: Fix race between usbhid_close() and usbhid_stop()



commit 0ed08faded1da03eb3def61502b27f81aef2e615 upstream.

The syzbot fuzzer discovered a bad race between in the usbhid driver
between usbhid_stop() and usbhid_close().  In particular,
usbhid_stop() does:

	usb_free_urb(usbhid->urbin);
	...
	usbhid->urbin = NULL; /* don't mess up next start */

and usbhid_close() does:

	usb_kill_urb(usbhid->urbin);

with no mutual exclusion.  If the two routines happen to run
concurrently so that usb_kill_urb() is called in between the
usb_free_urb() and the NULL assignment, it will access the
deallocated urb structure -- a use-after-free bug.

This patch adds a mutex to the usbhid private structure and uses it to
enforce mutual exclusion of the usbhid_start(), usbhid_stop(),
usbhid_open() and usbhid_close() callbacks.
