Just found a recursive locking bug:

Note: this function is called from the IRQ, the IRQ handler
grabs udc->lock spinlock..

In the disconnect(), g_ether driver will immediately call
qe_ep_disable() function which will try to grab &udc->lock
spinlock once again..

Not sure how to fix this properly... :-/

p.s. the same bug exists in omap_udc.c, pxa27x_udc.c and probably
other drivers as well... The only reason why it does not exploit
in most cases is that the spin_lock_irqsave for !SMP case turns
into simple local_irq_save().
