usb: hub: take hub->hdev reference when processing from eventlist During surprise device hotplug removal tests, it was observed that hub_events may try to call usb_lock_device on a device that has already been freed. Protect the usb_device by taking out a reference (under the hub_event_lock) when hub_events pulls it off the list, returning the reference after hub_events is finished using it.
