USB: usbfs: Use a spinlock instead of atomic accesses to tally used memory.
While the existing code code imposes a limit on the used memory, it might be
over pessimistic (even if this is unlikely).
Example scenario:
8 threads running in parallel, all entering
"usbfs_increase_memory_usage()" at the same time.
The atomic accesses in "usbfs_increase_memory_usage()" could be
serialized like this:
8 x "atomic64_add"
8 x "atomic64_read"
If the 8 x "atomic64_add" raise "usbfs_memory_usage" above the limit,
then all 8 calls of "usbfs_increase_memory_usage()" will return with
-ENOMEM. If you instead serialize over the whole access to
"usbfs_memory_usage" by using a spinlock, some of these calls will
succeed.
