Subject: [PATCH 198/241] net: usb: Fix memory leak on Tx data path

3.5.7.2 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Hemant Kumar <hemantk@...eaurora.org>

commit 39707c2a3ba5011038b363f84d37c8a98d2d9db1 upstream.

Driver anchors the tx urbs and defers the urb submission if
a transmit request comes when the interface is suspended.
Anchoring urb increments the urb reference count. These
deferred urbs are later accessed by calling usb_get_from_anchor()
for submission during interface resume. usb_get_from_anchor()
unanchors the urb but urb reference count remains same.
This causes the urb reference count to remain non-zero
after usb_free_urb() gets called and urb never gets freed.
Hence call usb_put_urb() after anchoring the urb to properly
balance the reference count for these deferred urbs. Also,
unanchor these deferred urbs during disconnect, to free them
up.
