Subject: [REGRESSION] "USB: use kfifo to buffer usb-generic serial writes"
	causes gobi_loader to hang

gobi_loader writes firmware to gobi USB devices (qcserial) via the USB 
serial layer by writing it a megabyte at a time (matching the Windows 
driver behaviour). Commit 8e8dce065088833fc418bfa5fbf035cb0726c04c 
breaks it - strace shows the write simply hanging. ssyrq-t says the 
backtrace is:

The commit before this works fine.
