Subject: [ 63/72] USB: garmin_gps: fix memory leak on disconnect

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

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

From: Johan Hovold <jhovold@...il.com>

commit 618aa1068df29c37a58045fe940f9106664153fd upstream.

Remove bogus disconnect test introduced by 95bef012e ("USB: more serial
drivers writing after disconnect") which prevented queued data from
being freed on disconnect.

The possible IO it was supposed to prevent is long gone.
