From: Xinming Hu <huxm@xxxxxxxxxxx> we have observed host system hang when device firmware crash, stack trace show it was an use-after-free case: previous submitted urb will be holding in usbcore, and given back to device driver when device disconnected, while the urb have been freed in usb device disconnect handler. This patch kill the holding urb before free its memory.
