From: Benedikt Spranger <bene@linutronix.de>
eth_start_xmit() can race against a disconnect interrupt in the gadget
device driver, which nukes all pending request. Right now we access the
pending request list unconditionally and dereference the request list
head itself in such a case, which results in an Oops.
Check whether the list is empty before actually dereferencing
dev->tx_reqs.next. Also add a comment for the second list_empty check
further down to avoid confusion.
Long standing bug. Patch should be applied to stable as well.
