If a URB is killed while the host is removed we can end up in a situation where the hub thread takes the roothub device lock, and waits for the URB to be given back by xhci-hcd, blocking the host remove code. xhci-hcd tries to stop the endpoint and give back the urb, but can't as the host is removed from PCI bus at the same time, preventing the normal way of giving back urb. Instead we need to rely on the stop command timeout function to give back the urb. This xhci_stop_endpoint_command_watchdog() timeout function used a XHCI_STATE_DYING flag to indicate if the timeout function is already running, but later this flag has been taking into use in other places to mark that xhci is dying. Remove checks for XHCI_STATE_DYING in xhci_urb_dequeue. We are still checking that reading from pci state does not return 0xffffffff or that host is not halted before trying to stop the endpoint. This whole area of stopping endpoints, giving back URBs, and the wathdog timeout need rework, this fix focuses on solving a specific deadlock issue that we can then send to stable before any major rework.

To understand all the Linux-USB framework, you'll use these resources:
* This source code. This is necessarily an evolving work, and
includes kerneldoc that should help you get a current overview.
("make pdfdocs", and then look at "usb.pdf" for host side and
"gadget.pdf" for peripheral side.) Also, Documentation/usb has
more information.
* The USB 2.0 specification (from www.usb.org), with supplements
such as those for USB OTG and the various device classes.
The USB specification has a good overview chapter, and USB
peripherals conform to the widely known "Chapter 9".
* Chip specifications for USB controllers. Examples include
host controllers (on PCs, servers, and more); peripheral
controllers (in devices with Linux firmware, like printers or
cell phones); and hard-wired peripherals like Ethernet adapters.
* Specifications for other protocols implemented by USB peripheral
functions. Some are vendor-specific; others are vendor-neutral
but just standardized outside of the www.usb.org team.
Here is a list of what each subdirectory here is, and what is contained in
them.
core/ - This is for the core USB host code, including the
usbfs files and the hub class driver ("hub_wq").
host/ - This is for USB host controller drivers. This
includes UHCI, OHCI, EHCI, and others that might
be used with more specialized "embedded" systems.
gadget/ - This is for USB peripheral controller drivers and
the various gadget drivers which talk to them.
Individual USB driver directories. A new driver should be added to the
first subdirectory in the list below that it fits into.
image/ - This is for still image drivers, like scanners or
digital cameras.
../input/ - This is for any driver that uses the input subsystem,
like keyboard, mice, touchscreens, tablets, etc.
../media/ - This is for multimedia drivers, like video cameras,
radios, and any other drivers that talk to the v4l
subsystem.
../net/ - This is for network drivers.
serial/ - This is for USB to serial drivers.
storage/ - This is for USB mass-storage drivers.
class/ - This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
into any of the above categories, and work for a range
of USB Class specified devices.
misc/ - This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
into any of the above categories.
