From: Takashi Sakamoto <o-takashi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit f7dcc5e33c1e4b0d278a30f7d2f0c9a63d7b40ca upstream. The lifetime of object for asynchronous request packet is now maintained by reference counting, while current implementation of firewire-net releases the passed object in the handler. This commit fixes the bug.
