[PATCH 1/1] khubd -- switch USB product/manufacturer/serial handling to RCU

[Andy Whitcroft]

With the introduction of wireless USB hubs the product, manufacturer,
and serial number are now mutable.  This necessitates new locking in the
consumers of these values including the sysfs read routines in order to
prevent use-after-free acces to these values.  These extra locks create
significant lock contention leading to increased boot times (0.3s for an
example Atom based system).  Move update of these values to RCU based
locking.
