BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1848780 commit 33a78132 upstream. Fix a potential deadlock if disconnect races with open. Since commit d4ead16f ("USB: prevent char device open/deregister race") core holds an rw-semaphore while open is called and when releasing the minor number during deregistration. This can lead to an ABBA deadlock if a driver takes a lock in open which it also holds during deregistration. This effectively reverts commit 78663ecc ("USB: disconnect open race in legousbtower") which needlessly introduced this issue after a generic fix for this race had been added to core by commit d4ead16f ("USB: prevent char device open/deregister race").
