Greg, those changed life-times introduced a second use after free here
as well: the wait queue itself. This affects all usb-serial drivers with
private wait queues.

My third series with the TIOCMIWAIT-rework fixes this problem, but
I'll submit something that can more easily be backported to stable
first.

Can you hold back this patch and the two follow up series (or if you
prefer all three of my USB-series) and I'll respin and resubmit them
shortly?

Thanks,
Johan
