3.6.11.2 stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Ming Lei [ Upstream commit eba0e3c3a0ba7b96f01cbe997680f6a4401a0bfc ] Johan's 'fix use-after-free in TIOCMIWAIT' patchset[1] introduces one bug which can cause kernel hang when opening port. This patch initialized the 'port->delta_msr_wait' waitqueue head to fix the bug which is introduced in 3.9-rc4.
