------------------------------------------------------
Subject: ser_gigaset: convert mutex to completion
From: Tilman Schmidt <tilman@xxxxxxx>

The ser_gigaset ISDN driver was using a mutex in its close() method for
waiting for other running ldisc methods to finish.  That's what completions
are for.  Incidentally, this also avoids a spurious "BUG: lock held at task
exit time" message when the driver's userspace daemon daemonizes itself.
