Fix #56 race condition causing delayed completion of sync transfers

The sync API had a race where it would check a condition to know if it
needed to call a libusb_handle_events() function. However, the check
was done outside of the lock that is held while the condition is set,
so another thread could completely serve whatever was needed to make
the condition true between it being checked and the event handler being
called. This situation would be detected after a libusb-internal timeout
of 60 seconds, after which the transfer would be completed without
error, but with significant delay.

Original patch at http://marc.info/?l=libusb-devel&m=127252114815709

Changes by Hans de Goede:

    Renamed the "race-proof" functions from libusb_handle_events*_check() to libusb_handle_events*_completed()
    Drop r = 0 setting in libusb_handle_events_timeout_completed() (to make both completed checking cases identical flow wise)

This is ubuntu support, not debian. So even if it happened, it wouldn't affect the ubuntu repos. I suggest you post on a debian forum.

You may find an ubuntu ppa here to get the version you want:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas?name_filter=libusb

Also which release are you using?

cat /etc/lsb-release

will tell you if you are unsure.
