    (net/usbnet: avoid
    recursive locking in usbnet_stop()) fixes the recursive locking
    problem by releasing the skb queue lock before unlink, but may
    cause skb traversing races:
    	- after URB is unlinked and the queue lock is released,
    	the refered skb and skb->next may be moved to done queue,
    	even be released
    	- in skb_queue_walk_safe, the next skb is still obtained
    	by next pointer of the last skb
    	- so maybe trigger oops or other problems
    
    This patch extends the usage of entry->state to describe 'start_unlink'
    state, so always holding the queue(rx/tx) lock to change the state if
    the referd skb is in rx or tx queue because we need to know if the
    refered urb has been started unlinking in unlink_urbs.
    
    The other part of this patch is based on Huajun's patch:
    always traverse from head of the tx/rx queue to get skb which is
    to be unlinked but not been started unlinking.
