Subject: [PATCH 4.4 098/113] USB: serial: mos7840: fix non-atomic allocation in write path

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

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

From: Alexey Khoroshilov <khoroshilov@...ras.ru>

commit 3b7c7e52efda0d4640060de747768360ba70a7c0 upstream.

There is an allocation with GFP_KERNEL flag in mos7840_write(),
while it may be called from interrupt context.

Follow-up for commit 191252837626 ("USB: kobil_sct: fix non-atomic
allocation in write path")

Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).
