Oh, now I understand. I completely agree. In fact the patch
should do that. The BKL is dropped inside the function, but
always reacquired. Do you see a bug there ?
The difference between modules that let their usage count
be managed by usbcore and those that don't must be made,
as those who don't must be called with BKL.
