This patch fixes the following spinlock recursion bug seen when bringing down
the ethernet interface.

unlink_urbs() takes the sk_buff queue lock &q->lock before removing the
queued URBs via usb_unlink_urb().
The issue here is that the completion handler of a queued TX URB will
get called when the URB is unlinked, then tx_complete() will call defer_bh()
which will try to take the queue lock again and fail.

The fix here is to release the list lock before unlinking a URB.
