The function documentation of usb_set_configuration says that its
callers should hold the device lock. This lock is held for all
callsites except tweak_set_configuration_cmd. The code path can be
executed for example when attaching a remote USB device.
The solution is to surround the call by the device lock.
This bug was found using my experimental own-developed static analysis
tool, which reported the missing lock on v5.17.2. I manually verified
this bug report by doing code review as well. I runtime checked that
the required lock is not held. I compiled and runtime tested this on
x86_64 with a USB mouse. After applying this patch, my analyser no
longer reports this potential bug.

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.
