Oliver Neukum d41cf1c7bc usb: vhci-hcd: Do not drop references before new references are gained
commit afdcfd3d6fcdeca2735ca8d994c5f2d24a368f0a upstream.

At a few places the driver carries stale pointers
to references that can still be used. Make sure that does not happen.
This strictly speaking closes ZDI-CAN-22273, though there may be
similar races in the driver.
