usb: xhci: fix possible wild pointer
handle_cmd_completion() frees a command structure which might be still
referenced by xhci->current_cmd.
This might cause problem when xhci->current_cmd is accessed after that.
A real-life case could be like this. The host takes a very long time to
respond to a command, and the command timer is fired at the same time
when the command completion event arrives. The command completion
handler frees xhci->current_cmd before the timer function can grab
xhci->lock. Afterward, timer function grabs the lock and go ahead with
checking and setting members of xhci->current_cmd.
