3.16.40-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Lars-Peter Clausen <lars@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 38740a5b87d53ceb89eb2c970150f6e94e00373a upstream.
When using asynchronous read or write operations on the USB endpoints the
issuer of the IO request is notified by calling the ki_complete() callback
of the submitted kiocb when the URB has been completed.
Calling this ki_complete() callback will free kiocb. Make sure that the
structure is no longer accessed beyond that point, otherwise undefined
behaviour might occur.
Fixes: 2e4c7553cd6f ("usb: gadget: f_fs: add aio support")

[bwh: Backported to 3.16:
- Adjust filename
- We only use kiocb::private, not kiocb::ki_flags]
