[PATCH 3.2 040/102] usb: hub: take hub->hdev reference when processing from eventlist

[Ben Hutchings]

3.2.64-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Joe Lawrence <joe.lawrence@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit c605f3cdff53a743f6d875b76956b239deca1272 upstream.

During surprise device hotplug removal tests, it was observed that
hub_events may try to call usb_lock_device on a device that has already
been freed. Protect the usb_device by taking out a reference (under the
hub_event_lock) when hub_events pulls it off the list, returning the
reference after hub_events is finished using it.

Suggested-by: David Bulkow <david.bulkow@xxxxxxxxxxx> for using kref
Suggested-by: Alan Stern <stern@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> for placement
