p54usb: fix nasty use after free
In theory, the firmware acks the received a data frame, before signaling the driver to free it again. However Artur Skawina <art.08.09@gmail.com> has shown that it can happen in reverse order as well. This is very bad and could lead to memory corruptions, oopses and panics. Thanks to Artur Skawina <art.08.09@gmail.com> for reporting and debugging this issue.
