We disable local IRQs here in case of running complete() by

The local_irq_save()/local_irq_restore() around complete()
will be removed if current USB drivers have been cleaned up
and no one may trigger the above deadlock situation when
running complete() in tasklet.

I guess you didn't run the patch thru scripts/checkpatch.pl, did you?
It would complain about the space before (.
