[PATCH] usbserial: Regression in USB generic serial driver

[Randall Nortman]

Kernel version 2.6.13 introduced a regression in the generic USB
serial converter driver (usbserial.o, drivers/usb/serial/generic.c).
The bug manifests, as far as I can tell, whenever you attempt to write
to the device -- the write will never complete (write() returns 0, or
blocks).

I'm sending this a second time, after reading up on the right way to
submit a patch (much thanks to Chris Wright).  Now we see if I'm
capable of following instructions properly.
