Without threading interrupts, this is invoked in pure softirq context
since commit ed194d1367698 ("usb: core: remove local_irq_save() around
->complete() handler") where the local_irq_disable() has been removed.

This is probably not a problem because the lock is never observed with
in IRQ context.

Wouldn't handle_nested_irq() work here instead of the simple thingy?
