Currently, the uvc gadget driver allocates all uvc_requests as one array and deallocates them all when the video stream stops. This includes de-allocating all the usb_requests associated with those uvc_requests. This can lead to use-after-free issues if any of those de-allocated usb_requests were still owned by the usb controller. This is patch 2 of 2 in fixing the use-after-free issue. It adds a new flag to uvc_video to track when frames and requests should be flowing. When disabling the video stream, the flag is tripped and, instead of de-allocating all uvc_requests and usb_requests, the gadget driver only de-allocates those usb_requests that are currently owned by it (as present in req_free). Other usb_requests are left untouched until their completion handler is called which takes care of freeing the usb_request and its corresponding uvc_request. Now that uvc_video does not depends on uvc->state, this patch removes unnecessary upates to uvc->state that were made to accommodate uvc_video logic. This should ensure that uvc gadget driver never accidentally de-allocates a usb_request that it doesn't own.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
