As requested on the linux-usb mailing list, I've bisected the problem in the mainline git repository.

    usb: hub: allow to process more usb hub events in parallel

    It seems that only choose_devnum() was not ready to process more hub
    events at the same time.

    All should be fine if we take bus->usb_address0_mutex there. It will
    make sure that more devnums will not be chosen for the given bus and
    the related devices at the same time.
