Subject: Memory leak in isp1760-hcd.c

Hi Arvid,

I get the following kmemleak report coming from the ISP1760 driver:

unreferenced object 0xef42d000 (size 28):

After some investigation, it looks like schedule_ptds() is called from
isp1760_irq() and removes the qh from the controlqhs queue but
ep->hcpriv still points to the qh and therefore it is not freed.

Shortly after this, the isp1760_endpoint_disable() function sets
ep->hcpriv to NULL and calls schedule_ptds() but since the corresponding
qh is no longer in the queue, it is simply forgotten and reported by
kmemleak.

Is there a race condition between isp1760_endpoint_disable and
isp1760_irq?

Thanks.
