Commit 16200948d83 ("ALSA: usb-audio: Fix race at stopping the stream") was incomplete causing another more severe kernel panic, so it got reverted. This fixes both the original problem and its fallout kernel race/crash.
The original fix is to move the endpoint member NULL clearing logic inside wait_clear_urbs() so the irq triggering the urb completion doesn't call retire_capture/playback_urb() after the NULL clearing and generate a panic.
However this creates a new race between snd_usb_endpoint_start()'s call to wait_clear_urbs() and the irq urb completion handler which again calls retire_capture/playback_urb() leading to a new NULL dereference.
We keep the EP deactivation code in snd_usb_endpoint_start() because removing it will break the EP reference counting (see [1] [2] for info), however we don't need the "can_sleep" mechanism anymore because a new function was introduced (snd_usb_endpoint_sync_pending_stop()) which synchronizes pending stops and gets called inside the pcm prepare callback.
It also makes sense to remove can_sleep because it was also removed from deactivate_urbs() signature in [3] so we benefit from more simplification.
[1] commit 015618b90 ("ALSA: snd-usb: Fix URB cancellation at stream start") [2] commit e9ba389c5 ("ALSA: usb-audio: Fix scheduling-while-atomic bug in PCM capture stream") [3] commit ccc1696d5 ("ALSA: usb-audio: simplify endpoint deactivation code")
Fixes: f8114f8583bb ("Revert "ALSA: usb-audio: Fix race at stopping the stream"")

Testing EP_FLAG_RUNNING in snd_complete_urb() before running the completion logic allows us to save a few cpu cycles by returning early, skipping the pending urb in case the stream was stopped; the stop logic handles the urb and sets the completion callbacks to NULL.

Thanks, applied both patches now.
