With threaded interrupts, bottom-half handlers are called with
interrupts enabled.  Therefore they can't safely use spin_lock(); they
have to use spin_lock_irqsave().  Lockdep warns about a violation
occurring in xhci_irq():

=========================================================
[ INFO: possible irq lock inversion dependency detected ]
4.11.0-rc8-dbg+ #1 Not tainted
---------------------------------------------------------
swapper/7/0 just changed the state of lock:
 (&(&ehci->lock)->rlock){-.-...}, at: [<ffffffffa0130a69>]
ehci_hrtimer_func+0x29/0xc0 [ehci_hcd]
but this lock took another, HARDIRQ-unsafe lock in the past:
 (hcd_urb_list_lock){+.....}

and interrupts could create inverse lock ordering between them.

other info that might help us debug this:
 Possible interrupt unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(hcd_urb_list_lock);
                               local_irq_disable();
                               lock(&(&ehci->lock)->rlock);
                               lock(hcd_urb_list_lock);
  <Interrupt>
    lock(&(&ehci->lock)->rlock);
