Subject: [34-longterm 214/247] USB: uss720 fixup refcount position

From: Peter Holik <peter@...ik.at>

                   -------------------
    This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release.
    If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.
                   -------------------

commit adaa3c6342b249548ea830fe8e02aa5b45be8688 upstream.

My testprog do a lot of bitbang - after hours i got following warning and my machine lockups:
WARNING: at /build/buildd/linux-2.6.38/lib/kref.c:34
After debugging uss720 driver i discovered that the completion callback was called before
usb_submit_urb returns. The callback frees the request structure that is krefed on return by
usb_submit_urb.
