USB: gadget: cdc-acm deadlock fix
This fixes a deadlock appearing with some USB peripheral drivers when running CDC ACM gadget code. The newish (2.6.27) CDC ACM event notification mechanism sends messages (IN to the host) which are short enough to fit in most FIFOs. That means that with some peripheral controller drivers (evidently not the ones used to verify the notification code!!) the completion callback can be issued before queue() returns. The deadlock would come because the completion callback and the event-issuing code shared a spinlock. Fix is trivial: drop that lock while queueing the message.
