Reading task->queue is not covered by a lock: until you know what it is you don't know what lock to hold. usb_task_rem needs to read it and use it without holding any queue's lock, and by the time usb_task_rem takes a lock, the value it read may be out of date. such strange usage should have a comment.. Better yet, we should have a better task queue system. More on that soon, perhaps...
