USB: cdc-wdm: fix race leading leading to memory corruption
This patch fixes a race whereby a pointer to a buffer would be overwritten while the buffer was in use leading to a double free and a memory leak. This causes crashes. This bug was introduced in 2.6.34 Signed-off-by: Oliver Neukum <oneukum@suse.de> Tested-by: Bjørn Mork <bjorn@mork.no> Cc: stable <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
