The function send_packet() has a race condition as follows:

func send_packet()
{
    // do work
    call usb_submit_urb()
    mutex_unlock()
    wait_for_event_interruptible()  <-- lock gone
    mutex_lock()
}

func vfd_write()
{
    mutex_lock()
    call send_packet()  <- prev call is not completed
    mutex_unlock()
}

When the mutex is unlocked and the function send_packet() waits for the
call to complete, vfd_write() can start another call, which leads to the
"URB submitted while active" warning in usb_submit_urb().
Fix this by removing the mutex_unlock() call in send_packet() and using
mutex_lock_interruptible().
