Subject: [PATCH 3.16 174/346] usb: misc: usbtest: add fix for driver hang

3.16.39-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Lu Baolu <baolu.lu@...ux.intel.com>

commit 539587511835ea12d8daa444cbed766cf2bc3612 upstream.

In sg_timeout(), req->status is set to "-ETIMEDOUT" before calling
into usb_sg_cancel(). usb_sg_cancel() will do nothing and return
directly if req->status has been set to a non-zero value. This will
cause driver hang whenever transfer time out is triggered.

This patch fixes this issue. It could be backported to stable kernel
with version later than v3.15.
