3.16.79-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 44efc269db7929f6275a1fa927ef082e533ecde0 upstream.
The driver was clearing its struct usb_device pointer, which it used as
an inverted disconnected flag, before deregistering the character device
and without serialising against racing release().
This could lead to a use-after-free if a racing release() callback
observes the cleared pointer and frees the driver data before
disconnect() is finished with it.
This could also lead to NULL-pointer dereferences in a racing open().
Fixes: f08812d5eb8f ("USB: FIx locks and urb->status in adutux (updated)")
