Tested on kernel 3.18.6 (I had to apply some uptream patches first).
I tried to crash the kernel by simultaneously running many instances
of FF applications (which made use of effects with nonzero attack
times, thus the ff-memless timer's timeout got modified often), and
then unplugging the device while in use.
Instead of crashing, the kernel behaved like it should, no panics or
lockups were found.

Tested with to following devices:
- Logitech MOMO (Black) : PID 0xCA03
- Logitech Formula Vibration : PID 0xCA04

Tested-by: Elias Vanderstuyft <elias.vds@xxxxxxxxx>

Regards,
Elias
