Subject: [PATCH 3.16 067/136] USB: legousbtower: fix memleak on disconnect

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

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

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

commit b6c03e5f7b463efcafd1ce141bd5a8fc4e583ae2 upstream.

If disconnect() races with release() after a process has been
interrupted, release() could end up returning early and the driver would
fail to free its driver data.
