rtl8150_disconnect() kills the RX tasklet before killing the URBs.
Endpoint flushing does not wait for completion handlers: a
read_bulk_callback() that passed the unplug check can still schedule
the tasklet after the first kill. During driver unbind, disabled
endpoints make RX resubmissions fail, so rx_fixup() can keep
rescheduling itself and access freed driver data after free_netdev().
Kill the tasklet again after unlink_all_urbs() has waited for all
completion handlers. tasklet_kill() drains any late tasklet and prevents
self-rescheduling; disabled endpoints prevent it from leaving an RX
URB in flight. Keep the first kill to stop an existing reschedule loop
before unregister_netdev().
Found by a static analysis tool under development.
