From: Joe Lawrence <joe.lawrence@xxxxxxxxxxx>
3.4.105-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
commit c605f3cdff53a743f6d875b76956b239deca1272 upstream.
During surprise device hotplug removal tests, it was observed that
hub_events may try to call usb_lock_device on a device that has already
been freed. Protect the usb_device by taking out a reference (under the
hub_event_lock) when hub_events pulls it off the list, returning the
reference after hub_events is finished using it.
