Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt

There is a race between retire_capture_urb() & stop_endpoints() which is
setting ep->data_subs to NULL. The underlying cause is in
snd_usb_endpoint_stop(), which sets
  ep->data_subs = NULL;
  ep->sync_slave = NULL;
  ep->retire_data_urb = NULL;
  ep->prepare_data_urb = NULL;

An improvement, suggested by Andreas Pape (ADIT) is to read parameters
into local variables. This should solve race between stop and retire
where it is legal to store the pointers to local variable as they are
not freed in stop path but just set to NULL.
However, additional races may still happen in close+hw_free against
retire, as there pointers may be freed in addition. For example, while
in retire_capture_urb() runtime->dma_area might be freed/nulled.
