[patch 59/87] cdc-acm: Fix long standing abuse of tty->low_latency

[Greg KH]

2.6.29-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

From: Alan Cox <alan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 7a9a65ced11ece416b730d6f21040a18e62d78a8 upstream.

ACM sets the low latency flag but calls the flip buffer routines from
IRQ context which isn't permitted (and as of 2.6.29 causes a warning
hence this one was caught)

Fortunatelt ACM doesn't need to set this flag in the first place as it
only set it to work around problems in ancient (pre tty flip rewrite)
kernels.
