Subject: [v2.6.34-stable 146/213] USB: garmin_gps: fix memory leak on disconnect

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

                   -------------------
    This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release.
    http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/paulg/longterm-queue-2.6.34.git
    If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.
                   -------------------

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.
