You are not the first one to face this problem. Hence there
is a helper:

* usb_queue_reset_device - Reset a USB device from an atomic context
* @iface: USB interface belonging to the device to reset
*
* This function can be used to reset a USB device from an atomic
* context, where usb_reset_device() won't work (as it blocks).

Please use it if you can. Your version for example is buggy.
It will oops if you unplug the device while a reset is scheduled.
