That's a smoking gun. It means everyone has been looking in the wrong
place. Can you provide an objdump listing of usbhid_close()? The
routine starts like this:

void usbhid_close(struct hid_device *hid)
{
struct usbhid_device *usbhid = hid->driver_data;

mutex_lock(&hid_open_mut);

/* protecting hid->open to make sure we don't restart
* data acquistion due to a resumption we no longer
* care about
*/
spin_lock_irq(&usbhid->lock);
if (!--hid->open) {
spin_unlock_irq(&usbhid->lock);
hid_cancel_delayed_stuff(usbhid);

It appears that the spin_unlock_irq() call isn't working.

For extra thoroughness, try putting one of those raw_irqs_disabled()
checks just before and one just after the spin_lock_irq() line above.
Maybe also before the mutex_lock() line.
