The XHCI controller presents two USB buses to the system - one for USB2
and one for USB3. The hub init code (hub_port_init) is reentrant but
only locks one bus per thread, leading to a race condition failure when
two threads attempt to simultaneously initialise a USB2 and USB3 device:
[ 8.034843] xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: Timeout while waiting for setup device command
[ 13.183701] usb 3-3: device descriptor read/all, error -110
On a test system this failure occurred on 6% of all boots.
The call traces at the point of failure are:

Which results from the two call chains:
hub_port_init
usb_get_device_descriptor
usb_get_descriptor
usb_control_msg
usb_internal_control_msg
usb_start_wait_urb
usb_submit_urb / wait_for_completion_timeout / usb_kill_urb
hub_port_init
hub_set_address
xhci_address_device
xhci_setup_device
Mathias Nyman explains the current behaviour violates the XHCI spec:
hub_port_reset() will end up moving the corresponding xhci device slot
to default state.
As hub_port_reset() is called several times in hub_port_init() it
sounds reasonable that we could end up with two threads having their
xhci device slots in default state at the same time, which according to
xhci 4.5.3 specs still is a big no no:
"Note: Software shall not transition more than one Device Slot to the
Default State at a time"
So both threads fail at their next task after this.
One fails to read the descriptor, and the other fails addressing the
device.
Fix this in hub_port_init by locking the USB controller (instead of an
individual bus) to prevent simultaneous initialisation of both buses.
