I do not agree with this kind of workaround. The model we're following
is for usb_kill_urb() to cancel the transfer. The usblp invokes it
through usb_kill_anchored_urbs() and usblp_unlink_urbs(), as seen
above. There can be no timer hitting anything once it returns.

At this point I suspect the fake HCD that the test harness invokes
fails to termine the transfer properly and then a timer hits.

Here's the bot's evidence and how I read it:

This is where the problem is tripped, notice that it comes
because gadget runs a timer:

At this point the whole struct usblp is freed, including the
spinlock which we're trying to lock.

1104 is kzalloc for struct usblp.

1380 is an inlined call to usblp_cleanup, which is just
a bunch of kfree.

The bug report is still a bug report, but I'm pretty sure the
culprit is the emulated HCD and/or the gadget layer. Unfortunately,
I'm not up to speed in that subsystem. Maybe Alan can look at it?
