[PATCH] USB Serial: fix use-after-free bug in usb-serial core
This fixes a use-after-free bug in the usb-serial core. It is simple to trigger this (open a usb-serial port, then yank the device out before closing the port.) Thanks to Stefan Seyfried <seife@suse.de> for reporting this, and to the slab debugging code which enabled it to be tracked down.
