Subject: [ 031/180] usbnet: increase URB reference count before usb_unlink_urb

2.6.32-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: tom.leiming@...il.com <tom.leiming@...il.com>

commit 0956a8c20b23d429e79ff86d4325583fc06f9eb4 upstream.

Commit 4231d47e6fe69f061f96c98c30eaf9fb4c14b96d(net/usbnet: avoid
recursive locking in usbnet_stop()) fixes the recursive locking
problem by releasing the skb queue lock, but it makes usb_unlink_urb
racing with defer_bh, and the URB to being unlinked may be freed before
or during calling usb_unlink_urb, so use-after-free problem may be
triggerd inside usb_unlink_urb.

The patch fixes the use-after-free problem by increasing URB
reference count with skb queue lock held before calling
usb_unlink_urb, so the URB won't be freed until return from
usb_unlink_urb.
