This isn't right, now the spinlock isn't released if we take this path.

Besides, this patch doesn't really make sense. How could taking the
spinlock affect the value returned from dwc2_is_controller_alive? All
it does is read from the GSNPSID register, and that register is never
written to.

Are you absolutely sure this is the fix?
