I have an idea. Could you test this patch?

Subject: [PATCH] usbnet: include wait queue head in device structure
This fixes a race which happens by freeing an object on the stack.

The fix is to just not allocate the data structure on the stack.
As dev->wait is abused as a flag it also takes a runtime PM change
to fix this bug.
