USB: core: Don't hold device lock while reading the "descriptors" sysfs file
Ever since commit 83e83ecb79
("usb: core: get config and string
descriptors for unauthorized devices") was merged in 2013, there has
been no mechanism for reallocating the rawdescriptors buffers in
struct usb_device after the initial enumeration. Before that commit,
the buffers would be deallocated when a device was deauthorized and
reallocated when it was authorized and enumerated.
This means that the locking in the read_descriptors() routine is not
needed, since the buffers it reads will never be reallocated while the
routine is running. This locking can interfere with user programs
trying to read a hub's descriptors via sysfs while new child devices
of the hub are being initialized, since the hub is locked during this
procedure.
Since the locking in read_descriptors() hasn't been needed for over
nine years, we can remove it.
