commit dd397dc9dddfa2149a1bbc9e52ac7d5630737cec upstream

Alan Stern found several flaws in p54usb's implementation and annotated:
"usb_kill_urb() and similar routines do not expect an URB's completion
routine to deallocate it.  This is almost obvious -- if the URB is deallocated
before the completion routine returns then there's no way for usb_kill_urb
to detect when the URB actually is complete."

This patch addresses all known limitations in the old implementation and fixes
khub's "use-after-freed" hang, when SLUB debug's poisoning option is enabled.
