In sg_timeout(), req->status is set to "-ETIMEDOUT" before calling into usb_sg_cancel(). usb_sg_cancel() will do nothing and return directly if req->status has been set to a non-zero value. This will cause driver hang whenever transfer time out is triggered. This patch fixes this issue. It could be backported to stable kernel with version later than v3.15.
