Subject: [PATCH 3.16 021/136] USB: serial: metro-usb: stop I/O after
 failed open

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

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

From: Johan Hovold <johan@...nel.org>

commit 2339536d229df25c71c0900fc619289229bfecf6 upstream.

Make sure to kill the interrupt-in URB after a failed open request.
Apart from saving power (and avoiding stale input after a later
successful open), this also prevents a NULL-deref in the completion
handler if the port is manually unbound.
