Fixing xhci->mutex sounds like a good idea, and you are right, it's no longer
needed for slot_id or addr_dev.
But it's use was extended to protect xhci_stop() and xhci_setup_device()
from racing at fast xhci host hotplug/removes in this patch.

     usb: xhci: lock mutex on xhci_stop
  
     Else it races with xhci_setup_device

But I think it's safe to remove xhci->mutex  from xhci_alloc_dev()

There's no huurry with the patch 5/5 so would be nice to get that mutex
cleaned up before.

Thanks
