>This patch (as912) replaces a couple of calls to flush_workqueue()
>with cancel_sync_work() and cancel_rearming_delayed_work().  Using a
>more directed approach allows us to avoid some nasty deadlocks.  The
>prime example occurs when a first-level device (the parent is a root
>hub) is removed while at the same time the root hub gets a remote
>wakeup request.  khubd would try to flush the autosuspend workqueue
>while holding the root-hub's lock, and the remote-wakeup workqueue
>routine would be waiting to lock the root hub.
>
>The patch also reorganizes the power management portion of
>usb_disconnect(), separating it out into its own routine.  The
>autosuspend workqueue entry is cancelled immediately instead of
>waiting for the device's release routine.  In addition,
>synchronization with the autosuspend thread is carried out even for
>root hubs (an oversight in the original code).
