Subject: [PATCH 3.16 15/47] usb: gadget: ether: Fix race between
 gether_disconnect and rx_submit

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

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

From: Kiruthika Varadarajan <Kiruthika.Varadarajan@...man.com>

commit d29fcf7078bc8be2b6366cbd4418265b53c94fac upstream.

On spin lock release in rx_submit, gether_disconnect get a chance to
run, it makes port_usb NULL, rx_submit access NULL port USB, hence null
pointer crash.

Fixed by releasing the lock in rx_submit after port_usb is used.
