From: Antti Kaijanmäki <antti.kaijanmaki@xxxxxxxxxxx> Fix soft-lockup in hso.c which is triggered on SMP machine when modem is removed while file descriptor(s) under /dev are still open: old version called kref_put() too early which resulted in destroying hso_serial and hso_device objects which were still used later on.
