USB: xhci: fix lock-inversion problem
With threaded interrupts, bottom-half handlers are called with
interrupts enabled. Therefore they can't safely use spin_lock(); they
have to use spin_lock_irqsave(). Lockdep warns about a violation
occurring in xhci_irq():

[ INFO: possible irq lock inversion dependency detected ]
4.11.0-rc8-dbg+ #1 Not tainted
---------------------------------------------------------
swapper/7/0 just changed the state of lock:
(&(&ehci->lock)->rlock){-.-...}, at: [<ffffffffa0130a69>]
ehci_hrtimer_func+0x29/0xc0 [ehci_hcd]
but this lock took another, HARDIRQ-unsafe lock in the past:
(hcd_urb_list_lock){+.....}
and interrupts could create inverse lock ordering between them.
other info that might help us debug this:
Possible interrupt unsafe locking scenario:

lock(hcd_urb_list_lock);
local_irq_disable();
