[ This is in Greg's USB tree, but not yet in Linus' tree; it's here
just to give a full context. ]
Alan Stern points out that after spin_unlock(&ps->lock) there is no
guarantee that ps->pid won't be freed. Since kill_pid_info_as_uid() is
called after the spin_unlock(), the pid passed to it must be pinned.
